How do You treat sunburn?

i dont tan easily... when i was younger i used to stay under the sun all the time. but not now, since staying it feels like its burning my skin. the sun is o hot not compared to what it was before. when we go out and most of it are spent outside, i put on sunblock. that way i dont get burned. as for sunburn, i apply moisturizing lotion, all the time, to the affected area. or this is this spray, you can use that too, its cooling spray, if forgot the name of the brand... its an aloe vera cooling spray. just spray it on the affected area. will ease up the sunburn, or if you cant find one like that, just use the moisturizing lotion, apply it every 3 or 4 hours.

well, I am Asia and my skin is might be different from you. Most likely, I can get brown fast if I stay in the sun too long. However, sometimes it also burn. Once it burn, I just put some kind of cream that my mom mix with some kind of medicine, it helps from itchy and release burn. Mostly Asia girls always love to have white skin, but I love tan better...

Oh yeah. I am strawberry blonde so that tells you how pale my skin is and I burn really bad if I am in the sun for too long. Even when I use sunscreen I still have to watch. But right now it is still winter, sort of, and we haven;t had much sun or warnth, not yet. I live in Canada, in Calgary, Alberta, and we don;t get really warm weather till June. Although it isn;t cold out either, but not hot. We had a snow storm last week even. We still have some snow on the ground but not much. So even when it is 15C out it still feels chilly because of the snow on the ground. When I was about 20 years old I fell asleep on the beach and my friends didn't wake me and I got second degree burns on the back of my legs. I had to spend a few days in the hospital because I blistered so bad they were afraid of me getting an infection. That was 32 years ago and now the back of my legs are very sensitive to the sun so I don't wear shorts outside for very long and I have to put long pants on.

yes, its very hot and sunny this summer. we got to be very careful not to expose so much time under sun. we got to take lot of liquids

Well at this time of the year entire India,including the city I live in,is experiencing extreme heat wave conditions except the hilly terrain in the north, south and to some extent west India.Yes sunburns do call for protection and people do take precautions like anti-sunburn cream.India is very unlike Europe or Canada at this time of the year.Its hot and humid except as I said the hilly & wintry north where its pretty cool.

My children were sunburned a few years ago and we used an aloe product from Rite Aid. I don't even know what it was called, but it was in a clear bottle with a pump type nozzle I guess you would call it. It is green and gelly and really worked well on my children. Also the cool baths with a cup of oatmeal helped.

Well to treat a sunburn I have always been told to use aloe vera. It soothes and promotes healing.

My Ex husband worked as a welder and would get welding burns much like sunburns and we bought Cool Blue it really helps sooth the burn and it's also for itching too!

Dab on some vinegar with a cotton ball. It's very cooling, although you will smell like a salad! Plenty of moisturizer with aloe will help too. Best thing you can do from now on is to make sure you always have plenty of sunscreen and re-apply often!

A bath in cool water. Just as directed by doctors for any type of burn. Lotion and oils just 'cook' the skin more.

I easily get sunburned. I just came from a beach outing with my friends two weeks ago. Along with that outing was another souvenir: a sunburn, as usual. My whole back and face was sunburned. My shoulders hurt the most because of the sunburn. A trick to relieving the pain or the sunburn is to slather aloe vera on the sunburned part. I use the real aloe vera straight from the plant itself. I just open the leaves then get the aloe vera then put it on my sunburn. If you don't have the aloe vera plant itself, you may get any product with aloe vera as an ingredient too. Aloe vera is known for its cooling effects; it really helps in relieving the sunburn.

I'm sure this isn't very healthy, but I totally ignore having a sunburn and just let it wear off. I have a high tolerance for pain so it doesn't bother me that much.

Hello there, I have to say that sometimes I tan and sometimes I burn and usually when I burn I burn pretty bad. I guess it all depends on the strength of the sun and also my skin. Usually when I burn pretty bad I use different strengths of aloe products and that tends to soothe the itching burning and pain. I hope this helps.

I have really pale skin so I have to becareful when I go out in the sun. I always put on at least 50 SPF sunblock but sometimes I miss some spots or I don't reapply often enough. It is important to reapply especially after swimming. Alos, its useful to put on the sunblock before putting on your bathing suit to make sure that you put it everywhere. When I do get a sunburn, the best thing to use is aloe vera. It helps to get rid of the pain and to keep it from peeling.
