Tips, tricks and old wives' tales: Sunburn

[realityhack]

Hey sweetie - how was the wedding? I guess you are still on honeymoon - get back to bed you nutter....

I'm taking Pondlife's advice.
Lying in bed hurts at the mo.

Still in paradise on honeymoon. Thought it would be a good idea to go on a boat trip. Hmm...

It was, it was just a bad idea to not wear enough sun-protection.

Using a Vichy Labs lotion specifically for sunburn. It seems to be calming it. Aloe vera lotion 99%. The added tea tree oil made it sting like hell though. Won't be doing that again in a hurry.

Factor 30! Applied it often enough. It was the trip back that did it. I was in the shadow of the sail, thinking I was safe from the sun's worst.
Little did I realise that the reflected light from the waves behind me would do this much damage.

Lesson learnt.

it looks like it's going to be peeling badly in a couple of days.

Any tips?

Some salt and 2 slices of bread?

Cucumber helps, the aloe vera plant is good too. Do not use teatree oil it is horrid.

Indeed, you're never safe from the sun on a yacht (unless you're below - ram it pedants).

Ok - I'll walk in to the suite, greet the new Mrs RH, holding a large cucumber.

And after she stops laughing...

CM - wedding was brilliant - all the elements worked well. classic and elegant wedding. She had and absolutely stunning dress/hair/makeup ensemble, was a tad shocked as she walked down the aisle. Was a bit nervous, until we were pronounced man and wife. I think maybe we overdid the 'kiss the bride' bit. That was quite a kiss.

Will PM some of the first photos that have come through when we get back next week.

Having a great time here (apart from the sunburn), water-skiing, sailing, snorkelling, kayaking etc. Great food.
