My back, shoulders and the top of my arms are sunburnt, and I'm about to have a bath. Is there anyway to ease the pain?! :nervous:

    Make sure the water isn't too hot or too cold?

    Make sure the water is tepid. Dont soak the affected areas or use any soaps/shower gels on them. Pat your self dry and then apply either after sun/camoline lotion or a light natural moisteriser to the area sparingly.

    I've burnt myself about three times this so far year. Not fun.
