The worst I’ve ever gotten sunburn was while visiting my cousins in Florida over Spring Break. While we were there, we spent one day at the beach and I wanted to get that tan. So I put on 15 SPF sunscreen and took in those rays. I have very fair skin, and let’s just say, I overestimated the ability of 15 SPF.
That night I realized the fullness of my folly. My face swell from sunburn, and I was absolutely miserable. I hope you do a better job of protecting yourself, but on those days where you spend a little too much time in the sun, we have the perfect After Sun Soothing Mist recipe for you! It’s cooling, repairing, and pain-relieving!
