I forgot to wear sunscreen today in the midday sun and my neck, underarms and cheeks are BRIGHT red.
I'm getting married next Saturday and now I'm going to scale my big day away and look horrible on all the pics...
Any advise/help/non-mean comments? ðŸ˜©ðŸ’¦ðŸ’¦ðŸ’¦

If its really bad like to the point of blistering I wouldn't chance it for your wedding and would make a trip to the dermatoligist.they can help. if it just a little burnt aloe Vera gel till it cools down then moisturize, moisturize, moisturize.

If you have white vinegar take a t-shirt and drench it in the vinegar put it on. The burned parts. It will smell for 10-15 min then take away the sting and won't smell any more. I've use this and work Ahhhhhmazing! Old farmers trick!

You need to keep it hydrated you don't want your skin to start peeling, do keep applying aloe or a good moisturiser I love vaseline moisturiser it really helped me a few weeks back when I got really badly burnt!! if that doesn't work try something with silver sulphate in it x
