Thought I would write in a nice shade of pink for those of you who have managed to get your self looking like a lobster, or resemble the picture in any way, which isn't me on this occassion, but I did have one of those moments in Australia, only one I might add as it was so painful and not pleasant.
So without harping on at you about sun factor creams you should even apply them on dull days - and you will still get a tan.
But as I am not your mother (and certainly don't wish to be by the way) I have a wonderful remedy for you all.
Aloe Vera - this can either come ready prepared in gel form from a health shop like holland and barrett, or you could take a wander down to your local garden nursery and buy yourself a plant. These are not for oral consumption but to be applied to the affected areas.
If you decide to do the nursery version, Aloe plants do not require a lot of looking after as they are part of the cactus family, and when you get this home, you can cut off one of the leaves and carefully slice open the leaf to reveal the gel inside which you smear all over that hot burning skin of yours.
By the morning you should not only feel but see a vast improvement in the condition of your skin.
So next time you think sun think sun factor cream - as I mentioned yesterday you will still get a decent tan if that is what you are after, if not then just cover up.
