I always thought because of that half wog blood in me I was immune to the sun.. bad assumption, burned up pretty badly a few weeks back, skin actually peeled off and crap.. am fine now though and lesson learned

Use banana boat aloe vera spray, it is great for sunburn, make sure you get 2 or 3 bottles though, it feels really good so you sit back and spray it almost constantly.

haha done that many times at a mates place. we always used to go swimming at the river and get burnt to a crisp and wouldnt realise until we were kicking on later and were drunk

for sunburn you can go the old way by rubbing on a freshly cut tomato for your back or the new method of applying vitamin E cream to any part that is burnt

had a bloke crying on phone one night asking for one of our white trucks with flashing lights to come around and give him drugs to kill pain, took him to hospital instead, partial thickness burns.

Aloe-vera cream from the fridge, cold and wet face-washer and a gentle breeze. aircon will only dry your skin out more. drink lots of water, expect to sweat like a pig from the face... this is actually really good for it. fingers crossed you dont look like a pizza for the rest of your life.

slip, slop, slap and slide people... let intelligence rule for a bit.

my back was red, dead, burnt like a roast a few weeks ago, moisturising cream rubbed on thick, constantly, my back was terrible, still is quite tanned tho, deep brown.

couple years ago, i went up to Merimbula (NSW) for a few weeks... First day i was there I went fishing at 4am, thought to myself I dont need sun screen i'll be fine!! Got back home at about 10.30pm, and I was RED, and I mean RED. All over my body, legs, arms, face. All I was wearing were board shorts, so every thing that wasnt covered was burnt.

Aloe vera cream is good... But its not what I used... I used that about a week after when I was still a bit sore haha.

Believe it or not... Yoghurt. Just plain yoghurt... Put it on the burnt area, wait till it dries, rinse off with cold water.

I looked like a damn FOOL covered from head to toe in yoghurt, and everyone had a good laugh, but it took the stinging away and it did help
