Guys. I'm dying right now. As per us, I acted a fool at the beach today and failed to apply sunscreen in a timely fashion (though I did come equipped, in all fairness.) As such, I'm currently suffering from a VERY painful sunburn on the back of my legs, which are (coincidentally) a lobster-esque shade of red and scalding hot to the touch. I often rely on Twitter for strong counsel on many important issues in my life, and sunburns are NO different. Here's a round up of the BEST sunburn-relief tips I've received to date:
@eye4style Aloe with lidocaine. A milk bath helps, too, or just a towel soaked in milk and laid on the burn. And I still use Noxema.

@eye4style hot shower (it's painful but prevents blistering) followed by Burt's bees w/ aloe lotion for soothing.

@eye4style aspirin and soothing aloe moisturizer (leave in the fridge for a bit before applying)

@eye4style plain yogurt. smells gross but the consistency cools & the lactic acid aids recovery. cucumbers dipped in milk work too.

@eye4style solarcaine helped my pain a lot, if u have sun blisters don't use! Aloe Vera Gel kept in the fridge helps too.

@eye4style CVS aloe is good bc it has no alcohol in it. Also Solarcaine helps take the "burn" and heat out of the sunburn.
