That sun got her pretty good!!
She may not want to be shy and not wear a top because that may hurt putting it back on
Unfortunately, I know that too. It hurts and is very unpleasant. Because the skin is very tight, at least that’s how it feels.
Unfortunately, it happens very quickly if you forget to apply sun protection or simply stay in the sun too long. Or fall asleep on the blanket.
I’ve also had this on holiday. Not a nice feeling.
Most of the time this is certainly not intentional.
They simply underestimate the strength of the sun.
If there’s still a bit of wind, you don’t notice the heat. And then it can happen.
Purely fictional, since we don’t know the place.
Let’s assume it’s located by the water and you go swimming. Then you dry off on the beach and there’s a light breeze. That can happen quickly.
If you’re also prone to it due to your skin type, it happens even faster.
I once heard that cold curd cheese can be a good home remedy for sunburn.
The curd cools and moisturises. You can then lick it off as a delicious treat.
The best, yet messiest, remedy ever is plain yogurt. It moisturizes, cools, and nourishes damaged skin. It’s messy, but relieves more and faster than anything else. After about 30 minutes, the skin absorbs all the moisture and other beneficial substances from it, and when it starts to dry on the skin, the layer cracks and begins to peel—you wash it off and repeat if necessary.
So did I confuse the quark with the yoghurt?
Otherwise, I have understood the home remedy correctly.
Curd cheese is also suitable but a bit harder to apply to the skin and less common in household fridges, and quite a bit more expensive. The yogurt must be the compact kind, not liquid. Must be plain, no sugars, colorings, or similar additives like those in various sweetened or flavored/fruit yogurts.
One more warning: such skin application is only valid before the physical barrier is broken, meaning before wounds or peeling appear. Because infection can occur.
The skin should not be brittle or cracked.
But that doesn’t seem to be the case, or not yet. Then I think of Greek or Turkish yoghurt, which is a bit firmer, I think. And also has a higher fat content.
If you can find one without added sugar. Unfortunately, such yogurt is almost unavailable in our market. It’s better to use as low-fat as possible to avoid clogging pores (water blisters).
But now that they have gone to bed for the night. Emmie seems to be coping reasonably well at the moment.
