(More customer reviews)I was in the british virgen islands on a sailboat- you can see where this is going... even so i was careful to apply sunscreen regularly. however, snorkeling is a recipie for a bad burn- you never feel it coming until you are out of the water and by then it is way too late. we docked somewhere and the gift shop had a bottle of this stuff. someone i was traveling with bought it for me, bless them. i applied about 4 times over the course of that evening/night and by the next day i was fine, even begining to tan- i am a redhead so this was unheard of for me.
anyway, i'm buying more. i can't believe i can get it on amazon! It's the tea tree oil and eualyptus that help with pain relief and healing i think. aloe alone is no good. i've tried lots of remedies like baking soda, apple cider vinegar, noxema they are ok. but if you can get this you will be so much better off. it can save your vacation- pack it with you! I'm going to cancun this year with my kids and am definately coming prepared!
My instructions for sunburn care developed after careful research and experimentation:
As soon as possible, take a cool bath first if you have milk or vinegar to put in the bath or yougurt throw that in soak 15 min (the acid changes the ph in the skin and stops the pain). then dry off and apply the carribean solutions stuff (chill in fridge or ice bucket if available) if bad burn you may need to repeat bath in a few hours. also, take aspirin (it stops the inflamation reaction) or aleeve. if you have it you really should also take vitamin c, alpha lipoic acid (fat soluble vit c), and flax oil or fish oil supplement for skin healing. avoid alcohol, drink lots of cool water and eat cooling foods juicy things like fruit and salad and cucumber. once the heat is gone from the burn like the next day cont with the c.s. stuff but consider addding kukui oil (has linoleic acid in it good for skin) or some other moisturizer. if you still have heat in your skin skip the heavy moisturizers it can hold the heat in and lengthen healing time. cont with the c.s. gel followed by oil for several days.
stay out of the sun or coverup well once burned. burned skin can't absorb sunscreen properly you will worsen the damage if you don't take care. that's all! best of health to you!
