What was supposed to be just an hour or so in the garden yesterday morning morphed into a four hour work session. :rolleyes: The sunscreen I put on about halfway through didn't do much, so I'm pretty crispy. I did discover that acv really does take the sting out of it, but man, I'm STILL wiped out! Any suggestions for speeding my recovery?

I used Alocane for a full face and neck sunburn back in April. It seemed to help a lot. Your local drug store probably has something comparable.

Also, now I wear a hat if I plan to spend much time outside.

Drink lots of water and apply aloe vera to your sunburn. Remember that sunscreen needs to be applied 30 minutes before exposure to the sun.
