I HAVE IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE

I went out without suncream on my legs because I'm a fool & now I'm in the worst hell ever. My mum gave me ~after sun~ which after putting on for a few hours I took the time to read & it turned out to be an exfoliator for before putting on faketan
YEAH
I WAS WONDERING WHY ALL THESE BLISTERS WERE HAPPENING

Washed it off with cold water/ put on sudocrem, this will help? Tell me it will

Also tell me about times you got burned & lived though it

I sadly have got sunburnt more times than I can count. Perils of being pale but liking hanging out in equatorial countries.

Cold showers. **** loads of water-based moisturiser. Repeat.

I legit have no moisturiser. I know. I fail as a woman.

I'm so annoyed, I'm so careful with this usually! I had a parasol & everything. Leg parasols are in order.

aloe. lots of aloe gel.

Go to Holland & Barratt or one of those Afro Caribbean hair shops, you can get a large tub of aloe vera gel, keep it in the fridge and keep applying liberally. Also, get a big *** tub of aqueous (sp?) cream and for the next few weeks, when you shower, use the cream and NOTHING ELSE to clean the sunburned parts.

You live in or near Glasgow? Get your mum to go to the sk:n clinic on Gordon Street (I know they're open Sundays) and get a tube of this:

The CU3 cream is THE ****, I've used it after having a chemical peel, the copper peptide formulation is what helps skin recovery after trauma such as burns. It has the consistency of Vaseline, a little goes a long way, and I still have half a tube of it 3 years after buying it.

EDIT: Yes tigz, great minds think alike! Speaking of aloe, if you regularly shave i.e, face, legs, arms, bikini line -anywhere really- keep the aloe vera in the fridge and use it instead of shaving foam, it TOTALLY eliminates any possibility of skin irritation
