I am suffering from sunburn now and my face is really red.
I tried
1. applying masks
2. moisturisers
3. putting yoghurt
but i can't get rid of the redness, does anyone know what to do from past experiences?
Thanks!

[bwahahaha]

I heard putting aloe vera gel helps. ^^

putting too much sunblock actually ruins your skin too cause of the chemicals.
dont put too much, cuz i used to put a lot and my skin started to burn instead

Aloe vera helps yes. Either that or invest in a good post-sun lotion. Last time we were sunburnt we bought La Roche-Posay post-sun lotion. (aftersun). Don't whatever you do use suncream. It won't work anymore...

Aye. I love sunburns. It makes my face look all glowy and stuff

Um usually it takes a week before your face gets back to normal. Or if you want to speed up the process, find products that'll make your face peel like crazy. but I don't think that's a very good idea.

Agreed. I was burned pretty badly in September (I actually still have the tanline ) and I usually PEEL and turn red like crazy...but aloe vera definitely helped: I barely peeled and it didn't hurt too bad... the burn just felt hot for a while.

aloe vera is definitely the best
cucumber & raw potato is also good for sunburn

When I was a kid, we used to use Noxema to cool our skin off after a sunburn, but unless your skin is on the oily side, this might dry you out too much. I haven't gotten a real sunburn in a long time. I always wear long sleeves, jeans and hats when I got outside in the summer.

I have even bought clothes with SPF 50 already in them to protect my skin from the sun.

i got burnt recently and it's slowly going down. i've been putting moisturiser on there... but really, i'm just waiting. obviously it won't happen straight away.
and yeah, i heard aloe vera gel works. ^^ i need to get some myself~

i usually just wait till it goes away >< but i hate it after when it goes red, the skin peels ><
my nose and cheeks are sunburnt at the moment and im applying moisturiser though it's not helping much

Use Aloe Vera gel, it works wonders.

Zinc Oxide works really well!
