Sunburn

[Petit Papillon]

Ok guys ,want to ask You something... Last night I started to lose skin on my back because of sunburn.I`m upset with it because I was happy to become brown finally and now I have light spots on my back like cow.
So the new skin is red and hurts a bit,but ok... I put some cream on it ,should pass... But my question is... If I lose part of my skin on my back , which will leave lighter spots (like cow has) , am I able to bronze it to the point that there won`t be seen any differences ? I mean all the time those light spots...
I ask cause last time I burned my skin that much was years ago and I don`t remember and I repeat I don`t want to look like a cow
Thanks for answers


AND I HOPE YOU TELL ME IT WILL LOOK GOOD IN TIME !!!

Me personally...when I start to peel I have to wait for it to stop till I can start tanning again. By then my skin has lightened back to normal/not tanned. So it's like starting all over.

But keep it moisturized, I like using aloe vera gel because it's cooling and usually they are less of an irritant than lotions. Lotions also need to be rubbed in which usually isn't a good thing when you're peeling.

One of the biggest preventative measures you can take after sun tanning is moisturizing. Again I use aloe vera for this. Find something without dyes, fragrance, and alcohol.

Well all I used after tanning was a cream for sunburn,cause to be honest I was always burned But last saturday it was really bad. I was on the sun whole day,was swimming a lot to and it was really bad.I knew it will come up to this...
Well I think I will lose skin only on part of my back and my shoulders.
My mum told me to use some powder on the new skin to heal the pain a bit, but I don`t have any powder at home :p I need to get rid of it till weekend cause I plan to go on a boat with my bf and I wanted to tan a bit :/ But I think it`s safer to protect my back from the sun for next couple of days.
But then again thanks I will try this aloe vera gel,just need to find it here

Common sense would say so; lighter area becomes darker faster than darker areas.

Oh thaaaaaank You Yeah actually it makes sense :p

you're going to have to constantly tan yourself in order to stay "brown". all the dead skin is falling off, which is the burnt skin and of course underneath it will be new "white" skin. however, if you are constantly in the sun, your skin will develop more melatonin and adapt. the more melatonin that you have, the darker your skin will be.

I had a trucker tan. Left arm from just above the elbow down was brown, the rest of my body was pale as could be. Ewwh. I've been spending my weekends boating, though, and that's fixed it.

[Illusional]

what is your ethnicity?? if you are part or all white... can you break it down as to which countries your lineage if from if you know.

i'm a person that tans easily, yet i also readily loose my tan when i'm not in the sun. with that being said, i'm sure that there are others who are opposite me so i would care to know your background. i'm actually half okinawan and they are usually dark people from all the farming that my ancestors did.

I'm half Cuban half Mexican.

My Cuban side is from European decent (Spain primarily) but we're lighter skinned on that side. My Mexican side is also lighter skinned but not as light. Our family came from an area that was from a lot of European colonies as well (mostly Germans that had been there for a long time). But we can tan on that side rather well. I got the good genes when it came to tanning. I can tan rather quickly. In a month to month and a half I pretty much plateau when it comes to tanning. Unless I'm out in the sun everyday during summer my arms, legs, face will always be darker. Once I stop everything goes back to being light rather quickly but my arms, legs, and face are still very dark even if I'm not in the sun at all, like winter. It's always been like this...

Joe You`re Latino???? Wow You`re sexy then

[Petit Papillon]

Yes...but most people don't even realize it or believe me when I tell them. I look like I'm white, act like I'm white, and sound like I'm white.

But besides the point you need to come to California then.

Because You`re white latino, know that type from Mexican Telenovelas
Naaah You can be sexy but I have here my half italian/french guy,don`t need more:p

There was a thought that`s been hounting me lately... Here in Spain there are some white people,and some latino-like. Well people from Spain look exactly like people from latin America,then why people don`t call them latino too? dunno...

[Illusional]

damn that explains it then... i thought you were some whitey who didn't want to admit that he could lose his tan...hahaha.

gimme some cigars...

I wouldn`t get offended if somebody would call me Latino cause they are smokin`hot. Still my dream is to look like Eva Longoria

Try an exfoliating wash, it should scrub off the excess skin and apply some cream on after, it works for me, do it once a day.
Hope it works for you!
