Cures for sunburn!?!

[neovan]

I got sunburn on Sat. while playing in a softball tournament in Torrance. I was wearing my sunglasses the whole time so now I have raccoon eyes. It was burning on Sun. and Mon. but now its starting to peel. I've put Aloe Vera on it but is there anything else I can do? TIA

Drink water, and use lotion with Vitamin E & Aloe. Wear sunglasses, so you don't look so stupid. 🙂

Asprin if it hurts. Otherwise like Mogul said, aloe and drink a lot of water. That is about all you can do.

When I got burned this summer my wife gave me some lotion called After Sun. It works great. I was sun burned but didn't peel, and had no pain. Pick some up.

Gatorade, Aloe, some ice, and sitting at your computer out of the sun. Posting on ATOT of course.

Just wait and don't scratch it. Will fade in a few days

well, since you're to the peeling stage, you're pretty much over it... So, instead of a "cure", why not try prevention next time. Sunscreen!

Solar torpedo with a protomatter/trilithium warhead. That should take care of the sun...and most of the inner planets as well...but no more sunburn anyway.

Milk

apply to the sunburned area.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I forgot my sunglasses so when I go to school, I'll probably get some stares. Does milk work? Gatorade?

MILK~!

apply to the skin.
it'll soothe it and ease the pain.

Sounds weird I know.... but just listen and try it out.

Mallox (mint flavor) antacid. It is like a thick chalky liquid. Apply it to the sun burn, let it dry (about 15 minutes), then take a cool shower to wash it off.

It works great! (I did it in Cancun, when I had a sunburn so bad that even sheets on my back hurt.)
