Do you have any sudocreme? I am sure it says this is good for sunburn and it’s a bit thicker than gel probably would stay on all night

I have used Soov Burn 200m from my pharmacist, but your best bet is to "slip, slop, slap" and use 30 plus sunscreen next time for you and your grandkids.

 
No problem, I too have learnt from experience! Glad that’s working better. Yes it’s too hot for me too. Always makes my blood glucose rise, I am struggling today to keep around 10 and have had to take extra insulin twice today, drinking water now and hoping my BG of 13 despite not eating much today will drop by 2 or 3 before I try and sleep!
 
 
Rub a tin of tomatoes into your skin... This is the cheapest and easiest way that sure beats paying out for all those creams and stuff.
Spanish remedy.
 
100% aloe lotion is what I use. Avoid the stuff with alcohol. I live on the equator, I’m always getting torched
 
Aloe is good. If the burn is severe, a zinc oxide cream like Desitin might help.
 
Hi to all,

I put aloe vera on last night didnt help just made it warmer irs not hurting now just very pink i will make sure i use suntan cream next time grandkids were fine they had factor 50 on it was just me that is all pink still.

The stuff with alcohol can do that. I cover myself with a thick layer, in the dark… I can feel every photon radiating like a thousand suns..

Eating a lot of tomatoes might help as they are the main source of lycopene which is thought to give some protection from sunburn. Rubbing tomatoes on the skin doesn't sound like a good idea as tomato juice is an astringent and it would remove natural oils. I have experience of a large tomato being rubbed on someone on a Spanish beach but that was to reduce the pain from a jellyfish sting and it worked.
 
Every year when I go to service the knitting machines at the local University it brings on a heatwave - but I think this year is the hottest yet - the buildings are like ovens.
The staff areas are not air conditioned, all the student areas are - but it isn't turned on. I can see trouble ahead. They have put up with a lot during a long period of building and refurbishment work, and now they are being roasted.
