Sunburn
 

You'd think I'd learn.....

Factor 30, hat, loose fitting long sleeved shirt.... And STILL I get burned...

Ffs :frown:

Re: Sunburn
 

Been in UK a week, the lack of ultra UV sun:frown: is a massive bonus for me.

Re: Sunburn
 

Ouch - it's usually me that has that problem :)

Is it very bad?

Re: Sunburn
 

Still warm this morning......

Its the years of over producing steroids that does it... Apparently:frown:

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
 

I had always refused to buy "aftersun"... Eory being ...dont bloody get burned in the first place... However mumbles wentnout with friends who didnt screen him a while ago... So we smothered him in ambre solaire... It was only the next day when he turned orange that we discovered it was an aftersun with some fake tan in it...... Orange and streaky was not a good look:blink:

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. :lol:

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
 

I actually have some aftersun by Boots which I bought here. BUT I can't remember where I got it. :o 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.

Re: Sunburn
 

:confused: 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.

Re: Sunburn
 

I do..... :(

Re: Sunburn
 

How do you fancy the idea of living in Sweden?;)

Re: Sunburn
