Hello ladies... So today I went to the beach with my best friend, and we used sunscreen but we were coughs up in the awesome waves so I forgot to apply it as much as I should've, and I'm so furious with myself , (however It is worth it for the amount of fun we had) I am usually on top of my sunscreen.. I really really HATE tanning, especially when it involves burning. I wasn't tan before but now my legs are DARK for me, as well as my back and now my chest and face are burned, they are darker, MUCH darker but they are clearly burnt too... I am already doing the tea steeping thing for my burns, but I think I may need more than that. How do I rid myself of a tan? And how do I calm down the redness even more so? I'm freaking out because I really really dislike both burning (but who doesn't) and tanning... How can I fix both of these problems?

Sorry for the boobies being sort of out but so you can see the extent if both... It's not really burning per say, but there is soreness.

Well aloe will help to get rid off the burns but I don't think it will get rid of the tan line.

I suggest trying a redness reducing cream cleanser (Neutrogena has a great one) and when the burn has gone away I would try soaking in a mixture of lemon juice and water.

I went riding our 4 wheelers this weekend, I applied sunscreen and got burned. It's so bad I almost cried. Lol. Aloe Vera has definitely helped to soothe the pain. Good luck (:

Soak a paper towel with milk and apply it to the burned areas and it will heal quickly. As for reducing tan I have a friend who applies sliced uncooked potatoes and it reduces her tan quite a bit.

A tan is burnt skin. First, I would treat the burn by applying aloe Vera and keeping it VERY moisturized. Once your skin is no longer sore or irritated, I would gently exfoliate your whole body with a mild exfoliator. You can do this every time you shower. This will get rid of the dead skin cells on your skin. This won't get rid of your tan completely but it will fade it!

Traci , I must get a bag of potatoes now! Thank you so much! Ivette, thank you bunches , I had to tell my mom that we could get aloe at Walmart even though I wasn't positive but now I know to head to the garden center! Suzy, I know about he moisture, but I have to get aloe today! Thank you a ton, I didn't exfoliate before the beach like I usually do ( I get dead skin build up like crazy on my face!) so I think that it may fades face tan, but I will be doing on the rest of my body too! Thank you ladies so much!
