To have decided to hibernate all summer ?

[Thiscantbetrue]

I have sunburn , I look like a tomato [grr] & it bloody well knackers .

This is the first time in my entire life I have had sun burn , I keep running my arms under cold water, my face, the top of my chest & my forearms are all bright seething red & it hurts

Ooh, new word! Thanks, Kate

YABU you should have worn sun cream.

I bloody wish I had but i did my usual 'what's the point I've never burnt before' [grr].

In fairness I have foreign skin so fuck knows why I burnt today

Whats Aestivation ?

Cool baths, after sun and plenty of water to keep you hydrated.

Hope the sun burn heals soon.

I never thought of a bath

Kate well that is what I shall be doing this summer

Thankyou Kate

I shall only be leaving the house if I'm covered head to toe in Ds's blue suncream

Nope bring on winter, summers a bitch.

Hi op look online and see if Tesco still do their aloe Vera cooling gel it's fab anything with that in will help.

Sudocrem & aloe vera gel v good for burns.

Next time suncream factor 30 & loose floaty clothes in natural fabrics with minimal exposed skin.

Sudocreme, pints of water and long sleeved t-shirts.

If you don't have any sudocreme, then whatever plain moisturising lotion you have, by the shedload, your skin will drink it!
