Sunburn

[dibbers006]

No... no pictures

I spent at least 12hours in the Sun on Saturday... sans Suncream (schoolboy error there) and am now paying the price. Despite having a slightly tanned complexion and never being burnt in my life.

I now look like a cross between Rudolph and an angry Raccoon that has rolled in mud. Despite bathing hourly in the finest cow spunk and drinking plenty of water my face still seems to be tightening faster than a new convict at shower time.

Any tips to get rid of my lobster face or am I destined to become a leather faced crocodile and object of fun forever? What sort of recovery time am I looking at?

Note to self, sun cream isn't just for pussies, children and the gingers

... and for those comedians... here is the picture...

Tesco's is quite good

I did exactly the same a couple of weeks back.
Keep applying every hour our two

(I was red for over a week and used that stuff for about 10days)

No, I didn't actually. I think the Aloe Gel was my Saviour.
(And Tesco's actually had quite a nice smell)

Now, onto the reason why you're sunburnt...
It's god smiting you for all your cock-foolery over the years.






I'd give it up if I were you.
I don't play with balls, hence no sunburn.

Gay boy.

You want to rub some Moisturiser in for me?

Which day did you go? I should have kept an eye out for the panda costume...

You take a cutting and squeeze out the gel

Does that work? Wow, that is handy!

I went on the Saturday. Was a really good day. Haven't been before and thoroughly enjoyed it.

The Rally Stage was good as well.

Prices for foods though and trying to find some Water was a nightmare!

Lignocaine surely?

Mind you if you've fired the top layer of your skin then it will fall off whatever you do - wait a few days and you'll be pulling off sheets of it that resemble PVC-free clingfilm

When I got badly sunburnt legs as kid, whilst on holiday in Spain, the local nurse showed us where the plants grew, and how to split the leaves lengthways and rub it gently on the burnt areas.

[Ry_B]

For your average white person, a small amount of sunburn will last around 3-4 days, longer exposure could last upto a week, even longer. With the peeling lasting more than that. It's not nice

[SkinnyBoy]

old greek remedy here, chilled greek yogurt, seriously works a treat. If i ever get burnt and thats easily done here in Aus, i go straight for it.
