eeeuuggghhh I'm peeling!

[milly143]

I obviously didn't use enough moisturiser on my sunburn from last weekend as my back is all peely and horrible. It's going to be a right turn off tonight if the bf catches a glimpse of that. Whats the best thing to do to get rid of it quick?

[ummmm]

Back scrubber in the shower...

[muchlovex]

I am not sure whether there's any quick fix, but you could try and dim the lights? ;-)

[milly143]

Won't I just end up making the skin sore?

Lol. Might have to tell him I've got a headache.

[muchlovex]

I wouldn't scrub it off, as it would make it sore.

I think it's a case of allowing to peel off in it's own time.

you need a gentle exfoliator - there are loads on the market, depends on how much you want to pay - Boots own or the Body shop ones are good so I hear

I wasn't sunbathing. We decided to walk up to the point to point racing on Sunday. Unfortunately I didn't realise it was about a 6 miles round trip and assumed the walk we took would be shaded as it's mostly through woods. It wasn't.

It's all his fault really as he didn't tell me so I also ended up with blisters on my toes because he said wearing my flip flops would be fine.

my head was peeling on monday, narsty!!
Pure aloe vera's a good after sun but I don't know if that works when you're already peeling.
Just don't let the bf catch you picking and eating it!!

Don't worry... he won't be looking at your back...

[milly143]

Only have time to go to Tesco at lunch. Will see what they can offer me.

sscchhmoke and a pancake!

I was a right state on Monday. I was bright pink - with odd little white circles from the top I was wearing, I could barely walk because my feet hurt so much and when I did walk I was bent over like I was 130 due to my muscles hurting from a seven hour session of de-weeding the garden on Saturday.

Paul - I thought you were a nice boy. Eating it! I feel sick!

Snags - what will he be looking at?

[supersuezy24]

Get cocoa butter x that's really good x

That's the Great British Spirit Of Summer Milly! Sunburnt and peeling before April's out!

What's the rhyme - something like: "no creature stays out in the mid-day sun except mad dogs and Englishmen!"

[ooh-la-la]

i used aqueous cream on a my tummy last week and it went over night. I don't think it was quite as bad as yours sounds though but it might be worth a try for a couple of nights.

you could get the bf to massage in some aloe vera or coconut oil into your back

might not work but it could lead to other activities and I don't think you will worry about your back at that point.

Isn't there a beauty procedure now when fish nibble you feet? Could you get you back into their pool?
