how do you treat sunburns?

[Guest qquinto]

and how fast do they usually go away?

i just spent 6+ hours in the scorching sun for a tennis tournament everything hurts so much :tears: & i look like an ugly tomato is there anything i can do to make my burns heal faster? & how long do you guys think it'll take for me to look normal again? i have a speech to give the day after tomorrow :[

[Guest aznhybrid]

try aloe vera gel

will clear it up in a few days

^^ aloe vera's your best friend

if you've got a speech, just cover up with some pants and a long-sleeve. Generally you shouldn't wear hats or caps when you're presenting a speech, but if you can get away with it, it may help you hide your burns.

i go to the doctor for EVERYTHING haha....

i got a sunburn and the doctor told me to use this vaseline unscented body lotion. it worked relaly really well.

[Guest redringlets]

aloe vera and also a warm shower or as hot as you can stand it..i can't remember why the shower, but my mom said it helps.

[Guest PizazzPizza88]

aloe vera! don't scratch it and don't stay in the sun for a while..

[Guest jadeof1004s]

Oh, well once i got really burned. So then wherever i was burned i put a WHOLE LOT of aloe vera (thats the magic stuff ) and went to bed wearing a large shirt i never wear and wheni woke up, it was practically gone. o O;

But when you sleep, it feels really icky. because it get son the shirt but just ignore it and it'll be a whloe lot better in the morning.

OMGG i got burned at my tennis tournament TOO! agh. my nose and cheecks are starting to peel ...i look like i have a disease or something.. -_____-;;

i just took cool showers, cus it hurts and burns when you take hot showers, then i put lotion on . aloevera helps bunches, but i dont have any... so.. eh. =/

and your face, try a cucumber massage or somekind of massage, yogurt works too, just to get your face to lighten up and feel refreshed. :]

[Guest xo_unknown_xo]

i burn very easily, and what i use is *dont laugh* milk....it really helps and makes my skin soft as well.

[Guest gotgoldfishie]

definitely use aloe vera! some of my friends crush two aspirin and mix it with the aloe vera.. it's supposed to help reduce the redness, but i haven't tried it before
