Anyone beat me to it? ahh the familiar itching sensation and burning and pain. . . .

How amusing discussing sunburn and skin care for gingers. God I love this site, no one else would understand the pain!

 

And I live in Australia so I get burnt all year round. Takes less than five minutes on a hot sunny day, for me to start feeling the burn! DAME YOU O-ZONE HOLE!

OUCH Australia! i bet it is bright there, still id like to go. I'm in the southern United States, its been in the high 70s-80s. So i didnt really notice the burn happening till it had happend.

yeah i live in canada... one of the few people who will be called 'lobsterpants' in april haha

Well, yesterday was sunny.  Then it rained.  Then it was cloudy, then sunny.  Then it rained again.  Then it was sunny.  Then it snowed.  Then it rained.

Isn't the UK great?  You do have to watch those sunny spells though.

Run, run, as fast as you can. You can't catch me, i'm the ginger head man!

Ouch!!!! It's way too early for a burn. But, on the other hand I'm jealous of the fact that you have seen a nice sunny day. This vampire is still living within the shadows.

I'm moving to the UK, because I can dodge the sun when it only shows periodically.

Ovah heah, it's mostly always on, and it hurts me, very badly.

And Donna I HAVE had that kinda burn, where essentially you have sun poisoning. Ugh, awful.

Well were are in the mist of a 10 year drought - so is almost always sunny!

but it is winter soon yay! still sunny just not as hot and less likely to get burnt!

Does anyone else get repulsed by the thought of sunbathing on the beach. not only is it hot and sticky but you get sand stuck to you aswell you couldnt pay me enough to do that!

Jules, Aloe would be great but so would haveing some coin to get some. I am currently suffering from BCSS( broke college student syndrome) however the burn isnt terrible, the red is now gone, but the itching is bad, real bad. . ..
