    It was soo beautiful outside! We went for a 98k bike ride - that means over four hours on the bike; with breaks, obviously. Silly me forgot to put on sunscreen! I am burnt to a point I can't even describe.

    Now I have a wedding to go to in two weeks, and I need to find a dress that will cover all the new funky designs in my back. :(

    Anyone has tips on getting better after a bad sunburn? Or am I the only one who does silly things like that?

    Dang, you are crazy!!! that's a lotta bike riding =]

    aloe vera and lotion. Lots of moisture basically. Don't put anything greasy like vaseline on.

    Vinegar takes the sting out of sunburns.  Also lots of aloe gels and drink lots of water to rehydrate you're body.

    Vitamin C! No jokes. It boosts your immune system, & even though it's not a virus, it can help your plasma & speed the healing too.

    I've had friends mention they like to put sunscreen on after they burn, though I have never tested that myself for effectiveness etc.

    My grandpa would tell you that fresh aloe is better than gel from the store, as he has countless times told me! I like to refrigerate the shoots after I cut them, cold aloe goo feels sooo good on angry burny skin!

    Feel better!

    I used to slather my sunburns with noxema.  It helps to cool and take the sting out of the burn.  Aloe helps a lot too.

    Just moisture, moisture, moisture. My husband got really burned (luckily during the last 2 days) of our honeymoon and my goodness, I would put aloe on his back and it would soak in within 5 minutes. We just kept layering and layering and putting some intense moisturizing cream on it.

    Lots of moisturizer!  I also used Jergens lotion with a tint to even stuff out.  It seemed to darken my pale spots and not make my tan spots any darker.

    When I got desperate before the wedding to not have crazy looking shoulders I ran in my sports bra and tank top with the straps pulled off my shoulders.
