Re: Sunburn
That green Aloe Vera stuff by Banana Boat calms sunburn down for me. Its also good if you burn yourself on the oven...

Re: Sunburn
We've got a bottle of Hello Vera in the fridge. It's an awesome preventative measure to getting burnt. No one likes the freezing spray on hot skin.

Re: Sunburn
It's always seemed weird to me that you can't easily buy 'after sun' in Australia, ala Boots style availabe in England. What's all that about then ?

Re: Sunburn
Always found starch to be good for taking the heat out of sunburn. Not the instant stuff, the kind you have to boil up. Still have half a box in the cupboard. Just dust over the area with cotton wool. Need I say you use it straight from the box NOT after you've added water! lol!

Re: Sunburn
Doubt I'd be able to get it again either but it is / has been out there.I think it was somewhere unlikely like Coles or Bi-Lo.
Where are you looking? Everywhere I see Sun Screen, I see After Sun.

Re: Sunburn
I burn very quickly, and I mean very quickly. I have very low tolerance for sunlight, but I put on F30 and a long sleeve shirt and a hat and I'm all right for ages so you must have an unbelievably low tolerance of UV if you burn through F30 and a shirt.
