Burn Begone
Do you have a friend who constantly nags and hounds everyone in their foursome to wear sunscreen? That would be me (and by the way…those are good friends to keep around!). Unfortunately, I didn’t take my own advice last weekend during a girls’ getaway trip to the Jersey Shore. I started out on the right foot when I applied a broad spectrum SPF 45…but I waited too long (more than a few hours) before reapplying my second coat. Come Monday morning at the office, I was looking quite red (lobster red to be exact) and boy did my associates give me a hard time about it.
Luckily, a friend let me borrow her Banana Boat UltraMist™ Aloe After Sun Continuous Spray Gel and now I am a total convert. The spray has a 360 nozzle that could reach my sore back and tingling calves and it felt cool against my skin. Not only did the aloe take the red out of the burn in half the time it normally takes to heal, it also kept me cool and comfortable, easing the pain during that awful itchy stage (you know, the stage where you’re skin is just dying to dry out and peel). I went through two cans in five days and my skin healed in record time and in one piece!
