i'm sure you've heard of it before.. but if you've got an Aloe plant handy, slice a leaf off (preferably a thick one) and cut in half... best to trim the green edges off too... and keep reapplying the pure aloe to your skin.
If you don't have an aloe plant handy, then get (as pure as possible) Aloe Vera Gel (preferably not green - as that has added colour). Use the Aloe if you're still burning. If you're itchy etc.. then move on to (as pure as possible) Calendula Cream. It'll help heal your skin up in a jiffy.
i'm a brown gal myself, never ever prone to burns, until i got some weird reaction on the back of my neck one hot summer.. i got a bit of a burn and a rash afterwards.. aloe and calendula were the only things that worked for me.
hmmm.. just remembering Woodstock 99 hell.... i took sunscreen, aloe and calendula for myself, but there were so many pale-skinned folks who got roasted there (seriously, never saw 3rd degree sun-burns before ) so i went around dabbing people with the sunscreen, aloe and calendula - cuz they needed it more than me. Ha... too bad i wasn't able to magically produce water or food.. or a way out of that place.
btw: anyone out there survived Woodstock 99 hell? i was a Mehndi Vendor. ah.. i should set up a new post.
