SUNBLOCK. Ended up being there 6 hours. Burnt to a CRISP. Think I might have sun poisoning. Note to self...
OUCH! Two words for you Pagan. Aloe Vera. It will help take away the sting and help keep you from peeling but start using it right now.
Went with my Grandma's old remedy...vinegar. Believe it or not works like a charm. You smell like a salad for a day, but at least you're not in agony. Then in a few days my skin will remember that it's Italian and I'll have a kickin' tan to start the summer.
vinegar does work i can second that. i've had to use it before on my feet. i burn to a crisp as well.
I burn a bit too, especially after hours, but I've got those Italian genes that usually bring me back to a nice olive color.
thats the bad thing about when I'm out in the sun too long, after awhile they start making me go in the back way to restaraunts and such
Ouch! I burn like crazy, I stay out of the sun as much as possible. Take care of yourself. Where was the car show?
It was at the Orange County Choppers Factory. Cool thing was I saw Paulie Sr. That man is just as HUGE and intimidating as he looks on TV. Bro, I'm Italian...I don't care who ya'are...6 hours in the sun's gunna hurt.
Ha! My feet get roasted too. Nothing like having those white feet turn lobster red, then put on shoes the next day! Sucks!
Maybe if you hadnt told me: "Check it out This rag smells like lemons!" "It smells more like Chloro-"
pfft. no big deal. No blistering, no cracking just a wee bit of redness as if you'd paid for an all over spanking. Having Irish skin and living in Australia I've spent more time impersonating a lobster than I care to remember. Best cure for sunburn I've ever used is tomatoes rubbed into the skin, just make sure they're really ripe and squishy.
That's just it bro...you're Irish. I'm Italian and look at what that sun did to me. You'd have ended up like Josh Hartnet at the end of "30 Days of Night".
