Also if you have any lavander EO then add approx 1 dropper to 6-8 ounces castor oil that is even better.... This will help you heal faster.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Ouch... If it's real bad then you can cut up cucumbers lengthwise and in thin slices and put them on your sunburn directly. The will definitely sooth those areas almost immediately. Getting sick probably (and I mean probably, not totally sure) means you have other past burns still in the system. You say, "what are you talking about... past burns???" Well sunburns also include radiation. Radiation can be handled by using a vitamin called "Niacin" (NOT niacinimide) Niacin should be taking in 50 mg increments and you should jog or walk until your body is flushing red and itchy from the niacin. Cool or cold showers are AWESOME when taken after niacin flush. The flush is your body releasing radiation. Too many people do not know about this and only handle the burn but not one of the major underlying causes. Try it, its a treat when you get used to it. Please try this in moderation. If you do not flush from the first 50 mg then try 100 mg the next time and on and on. Do not take on an empty stomach. Take after a meal preferably well before bed (2-3 hours before). I love getting sun burned lightly because I HATE sunscreen. So I had to find a way to dump the sunburn after it occurred. This way I still get the outside fun.

Guest guest Posted April 27, 2004 Report Share Posted April 27, 2004 Boy do I feel bad for you. I'm a redhead so I know how sick you can get from a sunburn as I've had them more than a few times in my life. When I was 18 I went out fishing with the jerk boyfriend I was with at the time and after a couple hours I could feel my skin sting. I hadn't been paying attention and it was too late. Once I can feel stinging I've already got a good burn. I asked him if we could leave "nope, not til I'm done fishing" I asked if he could at least drop ME off at the dock "nope not til I'm done fishing" 4 hours later he was done and we left. For two days I couldn't stay awake for the life of me. I was vomiting, dizzy, and ooooooh the pain. I couldn't drink enough water, was about to start an IV on myself so I wouldn't have to feel the pain of constantly going for more water. I rambled....sorry you're hurting, I find this topic very interesting and can't wait to see what is suggested. Candace Everything will turn out well in the end.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Hi Candace and everyone, I'm a redhead too, and have had several extreme sunburns in my life. Which brings up a topic I'd like to hear people's input on. I know commercial sunscreens are bad, but what natural alternatives can I use. Natural protection from a gradual tan really isn't an option for me, since I burn badly in a short amount of time. I'd appreciate any suggestions on this, as we're having unusually warm sunny weather right now in Montana.

Guest guest Posted April 28, 2004 Report Share Posted April 28, 2004 Roni, A good sunscreen has two purposes: To begin with, it helps the skin maintain its natural oils and moisture, which cam be lost through exposure to the sun's radiation. Secondly, sunscreen also protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays, whose damaging effects have increased markedly with the reduction in the atmosphere's ozone layer. Sunlight causes skin pigment cells, called melanocytes, to synthesize increased amounts of melanin, giving the skin a protective pigment, or tan. But, while increased melanin can act as a natural filter to keep harmful UV radiation from penetrating further into the skin, using sunscreen with a high SPF is still important, especially if you are fair-skinned or have a family history of cancer. Application As well as containing moisturizing properties, avocado oil, sesame oil and shea butter contain a low SPF sunscreen. However, they have only a limited VA/UVB-filtering ability, thus you should not use them as your only skin protection. For a natural sunscreen with a higher SPF, use a commercial sunscreen with titanium dioxide. Perishability and storage To keep homemade sunscreen from spoiling, use only clean utensils for preparation and storage. Store lotions in the refrigerator, where they will keep for about 3-4 weeks.Proper application To achieve maximum protection from the sun, apply sunscreen to dry skin 30 minutes before exposure. Limit your sun exposure time to less than one hour; actual amount of time depends on your skin type. Skin types There are four basic skin types, each with a different level of tolerance to sun exposure. People with light skin and blond or reddish hair are Type I, and their natural protection time (amount of time skin can be exposed to the sun without burning) is 5-10 minutes. The natural protection time of people with skin Type II, who have a somewhat darker complexion, is up to 20 minutes. People with skin Types III and IV, those with much darker skin tones, can stay in the sun for 30-40 minutes. To determine how long a sunscreen will protect you, multiply your natural protection time by the SPF. Of course, if you have a family history of skin cancer, you should always use a sunscreen with a high SPF. Natural-Protection Cream 3 tbsp. unrefined sesame oil 1 tbsp. unrefined avocado oil 1 tbsp. unrefined jojoba oil 1 tbsp. walnut or almond oil 1 tbsp. shea butter 2 tbsp. cocoa butter 1 tsp. beeswax 1 tsp. soy-lecithin liquid 2 tbsp. aloe-vera gel 2 tbsp. rose or lavender water ½ tsp. borax powder 20 drops carrot-seed essential oil 3-5 drops coconut fragrance oil (optional) Melt the first 4 oils, butters and beeswax in a double boiler over medium heat until just melted. Add the soy-lecithin, and stir to blend. Remove from heat. In a small saucepan, gently warm the aloe-vera gel and rose or lavender water, and stir in borax powder until dissolved. Remove from heat. When the oil and water mixtures are still warm to the touch and about the same temperature, set the small saucepan into a bowl of ice. Drizzle in the oil mixture while mixing rapidly with a small whisk; a cream will quickly form. Add carrot-seed essential oil and coconut fragrance oil if desired; blend thoroughly. Take care! If you use perfume oils, avoid citrus oils-such as bergamont, orange, lemon or lime. They may cause unpleasant skin reactions when exposed to the sun. They also reduce a sunscreen's effectiveness. For After-Sun Relief To help reduce inflammation and cool and moisturize sunburned skin, apply a thin coat of yogurt or aloe-vera gel to reddened areas. Spray pure lavender water or hydrosol freely on sun-damaged skin to keep skin hydrated, help prevent peeling and promote the regeneration of cells. Add 2-3 drops of lavender oil to 1 tsp. of a carrier oil, such as sweet-almond oil, and massage into affected area. Or apply diluted St. John's-wort oil. There's No Such Thing As A Safe Tan To protect your skin (your body's largest organ) from UVA radiation, use a suntan lotion with a high SPF. Lotions with plant-based oils, such as vitamin E-rich avocado oil, have enhanced effectiveness. Vitamin E helps to prevent premature skin aging due to sun exposure. Remember, there is no safe tan. Use common sense, and always avoid any overexposure to the sun. Suzironisrarities <ronisrarities wrote: Hi Candace and everyone,I'm a redhead too, and have had several extreme sunburns in my life.
