Surely all you Divas slathered up with sunscreen this weekend and spared your skin the sun’s harsh rays, but if you’re of the very fair ilk and still got scorched, here are some tips and tricks to ease your pain and get rid of those burn lines.

• First, take up to 400 mg of ibuprofen every four hours until the redness and puffiness dies down.  Ibuprofen reduces the inflammation of your skin in the same way it reduces the inflammation of a swollen joint from a sprain!
• Sip some antioxidants!  Green tea and pomegranate juice or extract are miracle workers, helping to get rid of some of the skin damage you can’t see on the surface.
• Moisturize like a maniac.  If/when your skin begins to peel, DON’T exfoliate until the peeling is over with.  Instead, make sure you’re rubbing in a rich lotion several times a day.
• If your tan lines are (as in this BlogDiva’s case) less than ideal, make sure you wear clothes that work with your tan lines instead of against them.  For example, if you have bold red lines in the shape of a halter top, save the strapless dress for later.  Applying a minimal amount of bronzer can also work in your favor to make the burn less noticeable.

Above all else, remember to next time apply and reapply that SPF!
