painful sunburn

eheba · May 2015

Help! I'm in a lot of pain. I was out in the sun a lot yesterday and I put a good amount of sunblock on 3 times and I'm still burnt. I tan easily, so I know that in a couple data I will be tan but I feel so bad I hope my little guy is okay in there. I have the chills and it hurts to walk.

I've been drinkin lots of water to stay hydrated. Any remedies to feel better? Thanks mommas!

Vinegar is the best thing I use.

I have heard vinegar works wonders but I haven't tried it.
I had an awful sunburn last week and I just applied a ton of cold aloe. I even froze it to make it slushy.
Hope you feel better soon. Sunburns are no fun.

Yupp ditto on cold aloe....works even best if you buy a real aloe leaf and apply that !

Lavender oil will help with the pain and healing!

I have an aloe plant- seems to work the best for me- straight from the source itself

I too was outside earlier in the week planing flowers and I totally forgot to apply any and my back got a little toasted

I got the worst sunburn I've had in long time, perhaps the worst in my life, a few weeks ago. What helped me was putting washcloths soaked in cool water on my shoulders, and applying aloe after-sun gel. It took about a week to heal, but now my shoulders are super-tan.

What I didn't realize was that pregnancy makes our skin more sensitive to the sun. So for me that means wearing SPF sunscreen even when I wouldn't think I'd need it.
