I AM SOooooooo sunburned. I want to die. Yes, I lathered the SPF. OMG someone come rub aloe one me repeatedly. I feel nauseated and miserable. I was on antibiotics. What was I thinking!?!? I don't normally AW, but I need attention. Lol sigh. I'm on a girl's trip, so I don't babe DH to comfort me or my bed. Ughhhhh ok I'm done.
Cool clothes on the burns. Rinse and repeat when they are no longer cool. Aloe - make sure to check ingredients for one that is pure aloe. I think I put it in an ice bucket before I put it on dh last trip (we didn't have a fridge that time or it wasn't cold). Aloe with lidocaine also can help. I think ours was blue. Cool soak in a tub might help. I'm going to Google - I think vinegar or something like that helps. Sorry you got burned
Also make sure you are hydrated.
Eta: wanted to check before I recommended, so my tired mind didn't mix remedies up. You can use vinegar - either put some in the water you use to cool wash cloth and apply to burn or pour one cup in a cool bath. Also read you can use baking soda - sprinkle good amount in tepid water and when you get out air dry. Also read witch hazel can be applied to burn to help reduce irritation and itching.
