I just need to say...

[Spiffy McMoron]

I look closer to my avatar now than I ever have before.

That I got back from a sunny weekend family reunion/fun times at the lake, and I burnt the hell out of my face. It's very red.

And you're not going to post pics so we can all point and laugh commiserate?
(I'm mostly German/Irish, and my Sicilian blood does not translate to my skin tone...I've had a few burns in my life, too.)

Ouch dude. At least you had a good time earning it, though!

spiffy, until your forehead looks a bit like this

then you can't truly say that you have a bad sunburn :P

Brew very strong tea, cool and dab on with a soft washcloth or paper towel.
Noxema - coat it on, let it sit for a while before rinsing off.
Shaving cream is supposed to help too, although it didn't help me.
Witch hazel.

And of course, Aloe - with lidocane.

Hope you feel better soon!

Carnation oil is the best for sunburn because it doesnt lock in the heat like other oils do, and it moisturizes so peeling is minimal.
