Well, the warm and sunny weather has hit us here in South Carolina. A few of my friends have already gotten sunburned. I've been lucky so far and already bought sunblock.
It got me thinking..... what do you do for a sunburn?
I found the best stuff ever in Maui.... we keep a bottle in the fridge and just ordered more.
It works on any kind of burn. I'd be lost without it!

Very important to immediately start tylenol and take it every 4-6 hours for the first 24 hrs. We are all fair skinned( very) Irish and have had more than our share as we live in a very sunny state and high elevation. The tylenolwill actually reduce the swelling and redness and make the sunburn not as bad. Also know that the sunburn peaks at 24 hrs. So you must do it for at least 24 hrs. For the actual skin I use the blue aloe vera also as it has lidocaine in it. After 48 hrs I switch to reg lotion.
Any good moisturizing hair conditioner works great, feels especially good if you keep it in the fridge
I am a 24 year old, breastfeeding, baby wearing, non cio, will be ERF, bisexual, martial arts teaching, trying to do everything because her SO is a trucker, working mommy who will do damn near anything for my boyfriend and our beautiful daughter Kira Elizabeth! BUT I also realize that my choices fit my family and believe that everyone should do what fits theirs. Respect me and my choices and I will gladly do the same. ~Allie~
witch hazel! Put witch hazel in a bowl with ice and use washcloths to soak up and lay on skin, keep wetting the washcloths as they warm up and do this for about half an hour a few times a day until sunburn starts to fade, it will moisturize your skin and stop u from peeling :D
