So I just went on a 3 day hiking trip with my friends and family from my church. We hiked a total of 19 miles! Long story short.. I did put sunscreen on my face, but I didn't apply very often. So like my nose is dark red and feels scaly. My face is just like pink and red. Also got burned on ears, hurts BADLY.

So I just have some questions.. So is it okay to use a toner on your skin while it's burned? I'm scared it's going to burn like heck!! (And I do have after sun lotion treatment) second question; is it okay to use bb cream just to cover the burn?

I wouldn't put makeup on a burn, just let it heal properly. apply some aloe vera to it.

I think bb creams ok
And if you're concerned about your toner burning just put a small amount on a patch of your skin to test it

I think you should put aloe on as well! Also this may sound weird but I swear it works... Put your aloe in your fridge so when you apply it it's nice and cold.

I wouldn't recommend using toner. Your skin will heal best and quicker if it is just left alone with the exception of aloe or lotions(:

Agree with everyone who agrees with aloe Vera lol.. My ear actually scabbed over the sunburn bc we were outside all day for this thing my school does every year at the end of the year so I had to use aloe Vera to keep it cool and feel good! I can't answer the makeup thing bc that was the first time I burned bc I tan like brown tan except on my ears this time! (Sorry I was like really young in this pic and I look stupid but if you don't believe me I'm the one that's the most tan with really blonde hair lol!)

@Tiffany S. Use destine (diaper rash medicine) it has some ingredient that takes the burn right out. If you put on the burnt spots when you go to bed tonight in the morning everything should be cleared up.

Try noxema cream! You can get it at like walmart. It might sting slightly when you first put it on but it seriously works wonders.
