Once in Jamaica, my Scottish skin got cooked So Bad the hotel maids brought me several pictures of ice tea & we soaked the towels in it and they covered me with those, as the tea draws the burn out & helps take away the pain. Directly after a sun exposure - it's true that your best bet really is the "fresh aloe squeezed from a plant" leaf. Don't do drugstore lotions. ....Too many preservatives for tender skin. Aspirin for the chills. Drink tons of water. After your skin get's it's second layer repaired, then start with the vitamin E capsules. I feel for you, as I have been burned badly at least twice in my life. I've learned that freckles are ok as I am not a tan-skin type. Take care my friend. Don't pick any of the scabs off or you will have non pigment spots in those places, which aren't very attractive.

Peace....
