Oooh oooowch ! I'm ridiculously stupid in the sun, I can't be trusted on a beach, I burn and never never learn. One of the many reasons I hate holidays.

Have you got after sun lotion ??

I would try some aloe vera , but an olds wife trick is bicarbonate of soda mixed with water into a paste, but i have never tried that , hope your ok you look really sore xxx

Yeh I'm fine I'm just an idiot really I will try these thanks x

Black tea. Make some really strong tea, let it cool, then sit in the bath and keep putting it over you with muslin cloths or kitchen towel. Do not rub. This will cool it down and take off the stinging.

I've also heard of very ripe tomatoes. Squish them and rub that on your sunburn. Haven't tried that one though.
Spent half of my childhood sat in the bath with sunburn and tea cloths! Neglected child, me!

You could have a tea party in the bath with tea, yoghurt, tomatoes, at least you won't go hungry... more tea vicar ? .. lol

Definitely get some natural or Greek yoghurt on that ASAP it really works to cool down the burn and takes the sting out.
Put quite a thick layer imams when it dries out keep reapplying.
Honestly my parents used to slather it on us when we were sunburned as kids x

Tomatos or potatoes work really good, when ever we go on holiday and have been to the beach we buy a bag of tomatos on the way back to the hotel, fantastic for soothing and takin the redness away

ive heard that potatoes take the redness out, i recently had a bride which got sunburnt two days before her wedding and she used potatoes thinly sliced and flayed over the affected part.

I feel your pain.. I burned my lower part of my leg so badly in Spain once that I just couldn't walk, but I had to hide it from the oh because he would go ape if he had found out, as he knows I'm a total idiot when it comes to the sun. Its funny looking back on it, but not at the time.
