ok kids.. we never put anykind of oil or lotions on burns.. dumb.. .. oil blisters..
honny i am 44yrs old.. i am a surfer from Redondo Beach in california.. i have been burnt so bad that i was in noxima and sheets for weeks at a time.. my mom just never learned little girls can not handle the sun for 12hrs a day.. lol
Now the new way to do it... Get baby power.. put this on.. do not patt.. just sprinkle.. just two weeks ago i was in the garden not reallizing that well.. i was out there so long. well i got it bad... so i came in the house.. and took my shower.. then i put the baby power on for 3 strait days.. all over my shoulders and back neck and legs.. even my lower back.. when you get old.. the rear sticks out.. lol
anyway... ? is did i blister.. nope... becouse there is no oil to blister.. now i did shed.. a layer of the skin.. but i was not blisterd.. it is only becous.. i had gotten so burnd.. so any skin will do this..
but the key.. to all burns.. from the sun.. even after you have tanned.. all day.. dont put on oils.. you want to soak it in the skin... so the baby powder is soft.. and it feels good and the cloths dont rub..
well kids.. if this old women has been doing for over 38yrs. and i dont suffer.. then so can you.. mama giggles.

First you must stop the burn
Use cool wet compresses for first 48 hours. Some report baking soda or vinegar compresses are comforting. Do not use ice.
Cool oatmeal baths (Aveeno, etc.) may be helpful
May use aloe in first 48 hour
NO lotions or petroleum jelly in the first 48 hours!! These hold in the heat!
Apply moisturizing lotions after 48 hours
Aspirin taken as directed on the label may help ease pain
Seek medical attention if fever, fluid-filled blisters, dizziness or visual disturbances are present

got this tip from a nurse a few years ago....take a towel or washcloth and get it completely wet with cold water (you may want to put it in the freezer for a few minutes), then place the cloth over the sunburned area till it isn't cold anymore, repeat. It will "take the heat out". Essentially it removes the sting and makes it hurt less.

I had a sunburn that recently put me in the hospital it was so bad. Bactine aloe/sun spray is great, but good old fashioned white vinegar will really take the burn out. Soak towels in it and lay them across your burn.

Take two Advil and apply a coldpress. They also make sprays just for sunburn relief.

Pick a piece of cloth and use it to apply cold water on your skin as many times as you need it. And Nivea cream (the one in the blue can) works well.

Try the white paste kind of tooth paste. It helps draw the heat out.
