    CQ you poor thing!!!!

    I'm with the others Aloe is the only way to go and make sure you refrigerate it and it will take the sting out.

    A friend of mine who is a nurse recommends swabbing sunburn with white vinegar but I don't think I would be game to try that one.....

    Hope you feel better...

    Ouch! you poor thing!!!

    Aloe is definitely the way to go - I have a spray on thing here of it.

    I also used Moo Goo with this last burn - a week later - my back is a very nice brown colour - shame the rest of me is white.. LOL

    Drink lots of water and spend some time in a (tepid) bath! If you start feeling unwell see your dr as you can get quite ill if the sunburn is bad enough!

    Body butter is the worst - I learned that the hard way!!

    I got a nasty burn on my tummy, just under my boobs and it started to blister so I smothered on my gorgeous Mango body butter so soothe it.

    I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!!! It literally cooked my skin!

    If you can get an aloe vera plant and cut the leaves - use the juice straight from the leaf and it is even better!
