I have a sun burn on my face!?

Question

what could i do to make it stop burning and cool it down?

and what could i use to cover it up? (not like OD make up just to like tone it down a little bit)

Answer 1

OMG. OK get some aloe vera gel with no alcohol in it. Put it in the fridge and apply it cold. The sunburn will disappear. From now on use sunscreen! You just opened yourself up for skin cancer and heavy wrinkles later. Be safe. Some light powder should cover it after the aloe.

Answer 2

Use Aloe Vera to help your sunburn and also use the lotion to prevent your skin from peeling.  

Answer 3

theres great product out there called Green Ice...works great for me.

Answer 4

If your didn't call yourself "Amber" that probably wouldn't have happened

Answer 5

Lotion  

Answer 6

Like the others said, Aloe is the best. I wouldn't recommend  covering it up with anything. People won't care that you have a sunburn on your face. That kind of thing doesn't have the same "gross out" effect acne does, and therefor doesn't need to be hidden.  

Answer 7

aloe vera..

Answer 8

I used to have really bad Eczema when I was little and it would get really raw and red, and hot (like sunburn) and my mum got this cream called Savlon. It's anticeptic, white coloured and is kept in the fridge so when you apply it it is nice and cool on your skin. It's what doctors use of burn victims in hospitals. It draws all the burn from your skin, you even see it if you don't rub the cream in, it turns like a brown colour. I use it all the time when I get sun burnt and it helps so much.

Answer 9

banana boat soothing aloe after-sun spray gel. i burn easily and this is wat i always use!  

Answer 10

ummm go to like walmrt n get a sunburn relief or cooling jell and leave it alone for a few days give it like3 days :)

Answer 11

Aloe Vera Jell. The green clear stuff. you can find it at shoppers drug mart and it's fairly cheep. Works like a charm. Playpen works well for burns and that might help BUT I don't think it cools down the skin. I'd wait on that one.  

Answer 12

My mom would put potatoes on my face. I know it sounds weird but it worked. it cooled it down and took SOME of the redness away.

Answer 13

aloe vera is the bomb use it

Answer 14

To relive and cool your face use aloe vera gel, and if you have some zinc oxide cream. To tone it down, use bare mineral cover-up. It's very gentle on your face if you don't use too much.

Answer 15

Aloe. Available at about any store.

Answer 16

aloe heals sunburns real quick. it helps prevent peeling. if the burn is kind of bad, you should apply it every so often

Answer 17

Aloe Vera is simply amazing. It even works on regular burns, it soothes the skin and helps to heal it if you apply it at least once a day, and more if you need it.

Don't cover it up, for several reasons. One, it won't look very good. Once your skin starts peeling, it's just going to look rather disgusting with something covering it up. Two, it needs to breathe to heal. Covering it up with something just means it's going to take longer to heal. It's a normal thing for people to have sunburns on their faces, so don't worry :)

Answer 18

Noxzema works and aloe vera

Answer 19

i use banana boat after sun..........i live in hawaii so when i burm, i burn! that will take my burn away fast if not the next day, then in less than 2. i usually put it on about 4 times then a thick layer before bed. noxema does take the pain away though....................i know how bad they hurt, and i think that any mosturiser with no alcohol will work. if you dont know if it has alocohol, a good way to know is to check if there is fragrance in there. usually then enscented ones dont. hope you feel better hun!

Answer 20

^^

Listen to them :O

Answer 21

There no sun burn on your face. The sun is away from the earth how come it can burn your face???

Answer 22

ALOE VERA.

No questions asked, that's the best, TRUST ME! :D

Answer 23

Yup.  Aloe is the best - pure stuff, not a lotion that's a mixture of who-knows-what.  You should always keep it in the fridge too.....it's magnificent when it's icy cold.

Barring that, get a wash cloth, get it nice and damp, and keep that one your skin as much as possible.  The sun time is over but your skin is continuing to burn....the moisture should help to cool it down.  When the cloth starts to feel warm, take it off and swing it in the air to cool it down, and re-apply.

Don't know what to tell you about the make up. You might find that your skin doesn't take the stuff too well for a day or two.  

Good Luck.

***EDIT****

No!  Don't put Vaseline on your face.  That's like putting oil on a fire!   If you don't have a sunburn it can help with moisture problems - like really chapped lips, but with the burn, you won't be helping it at all.
