Q: What do I do if I went to a naked beach and got burned? Should I be worried about anything?
A: Ouch! If you missed a few spots and got a little overexposure, then super skin hydration will be more key than ever.
Drink lots of water, take shorter, cooler showers to prevent further drying of the skin on the body, and look for gentle, fragrance-free skin formulas with deeply skin soothing ingredients like Squalane and Shea Butter.
You might try cold green tea… supposedly it helps with radiation burns, but who knows.

You might try growing a brain, dear. Most of us learn about exposure to the Sun and sunburn when we are about 6 years old.
Is it just me, or are these questions getting progressively dumber with every passing week?
Peter: So everyone who goes out in the sun is in need of a brain? That doesn’t sound too well thought out.
I tend to use some aloe vera and/or coco butter after a cool shower, and get some rest.
It is possible, just possible, that some people don’t think about it. People who come to phoenix from cooler climates are a prime example.
Like DAH!! Use Aloe leafs to take away the burn and heal the skin… Hope you did not burn something!!!!>
aspirin, or tylenol, as soon as you come in from the sun. reduces inflamation which not only reduces pain but speeds healing
I sun burned that location before. Stick to cold water and don’t get any lotion inside your eurethra it’s painful no matter what gets in.
Have your partner kiss it and make it better.
