It's summer again. What does that mean? For some, warm weather. For others, no school. And for others, sunburns. While they're not the most welcome part of the season, those pesky little red spots are here to stay. With a little help from aloe vera and cold showers, they're a little easier to handle. The following are the usual sunburn phases you can expect for this summer cycle:
1. You are given some awesome excuse to finally go outside into the beautiful and fresh sunshine.
2. You don't think you need sunscreen...
3. ...So you don't use sunscreen.
4. Slowly you realize why you needed the sunscreen.
5. Does your skin actually hurt that bad or are you just playing yourself?
6. Nope, it hurts that bad.
7. You are now morphing from a normal human being into one of those fruits that Mamaw usually grows on vines in the backyard.
8. The jokes from your friends start rolling in.
9. Your mom most likely asks you how you could be so stupid.
10. Aloe vera.
11. You go to bed, thinking the redness should be gone by morning.
12. Nope.
13. Aloe vera.
14. More jokes from your friends.
15. The pain isn't quite as fresh, but it's pretty much like you just took a huge scab the size of your face and scraped it off with a fork.
16. Aloe vera.
17. The redness should be gone by the end of the week.
18. Nope.
