Sun burn treatment

Well, I was stupid and ended up with a very painful sun burn on my lower legs. Instead of bemoaning my fate at this painful discovery, I thought I would try two remedies I found online. I just so happened to have apple cider vinegar and Earl grey tea. Following the instructions I found online on how to use both of these things to treat sun burns, I did my best on my legs last night. Here is the results:

My legs very red

So I put my tea and my vinegar in separate bowls and applied the rags to both legs for thirty minutes each.

My legs still very much red and still very hurt. This morning I woke up in so much pain I couldn't even walk. The skin was tight and pulled on the nerves. 

I went back to my go to for burns in general. Every half hour I have been rubbing my legs with pure aloe. It is moisturizing the skin and the pain is slowly going away. This is my legs now after five applications of aloe (I am not treating my feet as you can see).

So, for this summer I suggest sun screen and aloe as a good investment. 

Maybe next I will test which sun screen is cheap but still effective. Let's just hope I don't burn like this again, though.
