It's always that first really nice day that gets me. Today, while cleaning out the garage, and apparently spending a fair bit of time not in the garage, I burned myself to a crisp under the sun.
Not quite a crisp, but I'm lobster red and experiencing the pain that often acompanies a good first degree burning.
I have pretty good habits about using sunscreen but those habits don't often kick in until Sol's given me one good slap. Ouch.

Posted by: minghong on May 15, 2005 12:22 AMAsa I sympathise. Being a redhead with fair skin, I know exactly where you're coming from. I also live in Australia which is close to the ozone hole and can get very hot.
My best suggestion is an Aloe Vera gel of some sort. That is the only treatment I have ever found in my 29 years that immediately takes the pain away.

Posted by: Brandon on May 15, 2005 06:55 AMSunburns are evil. Aloe Vera is good, taste good too, and makes you smell pretty(if you get the sented kind). Well I can't verify how that feels since I stay indoors most of the time. Yay!

Posted by: MarbleheadMan on May 15, 2005 04:34 PMNot really, we have had warm cloudy weather or just boiling hot. Lucky you. I love the rain.
