Or you spent all day frolicking in the waves, without a bit of protection on your now Rudolph-esque nose.
Or you walked around a beautiful city all day and were too busy ogling at the buildings to reapply that SPF.
And now, you suffer the consequences.
Here are the things you realize you took advantage of, and miss so much when your skin is recovering from a week of fun in the sun:
1. Being able to wear clothes ~comfortably~
GiphyAll of your go-to clothes are suddenly condemned when your skin is suffering from a burn. Your favorite jeans, cute tanks, and thick sweaters turn into stiff jeans, constricting tank tops, and scratchy sweaters. Nothing feels good. You can't remember what cozy even feels like. It should be acceptable to not wear clothes when your skin is burnt to an itchy crisp.
2. Not wincing every time someone touches you
"Hey, girl!! How was break!!" - my sweet, well-meaning friend as she wraps me in a tight-squeezed hug, which feels like daggers ripping into my frail, crispy back.
3. Not having to douse yourself in aloe every hour
Sunburn
GiphyYour only release from the sharp pain of burns is the cool, refreshing feeling of aloe being gently rubbed onto your skin. Of course, you have to reapply every hour, you need someone to help you in the hard to reach spots, and your skin feels perpetually sticky, but man, does the aloe help.
4. Not feeling people staring at your lobster skin
When your sunburn is intense and dark enough, people feel the need to stare at it, thinking, "What happened to her", and "Didn't her parents ever tell her about the dangers of not wearing sunscreen?". The answer is, yes, they did. I'm just really an idiot and have no other excuse. Please stop staring at my blistery skin, I am aware it is red.
5. Being able to move freely
You want to stay as stiff as possible. Any sort of movement could result in pangs of stingy, burning waves of PAIN through your body.
6. Being able to feel comfortable sitting down
GiphyThis one goes out to all the girls who wanted a tiny nap on their belly in the sand, and woke up an hour later with the backs of their legs so burnt it hurts to sit down. It's me. I'm the girl. I spent nine hours in the car on the way home from the beach, and did not find a single comfortable way to sit which did not hurt my tender legs.

1. Always, always, always use sunscreen.
Use it! Even if you think you "don't burn" trust me, we all do and it's painful.
2. Cover up your face.
There is nothing worse than a sunburned face and it's the most sensitive skin.
3. Don't forget to reapply!
Most people get burned because they forget to reapply sunscreen after a certain period of time or getting in water.
4. Use aloe even if you're not burnt.
Aloe is so moisturizing, any skin that is exposed to the sun can and will benefit.
5. Avoid hot showers.
Hot showers are the worst, and they make the burn ten times more painful.
6. If you are burned, avoid the sun.
This should be obvious, but you never know. Umbrellas are your new best friend
7. Moisturize!
Lotion, lotion, lotion! Keep your skin hydrated and it will help prevent peeling.
8. Stay hydrated!
This helps the skin tremendously!
9. If you are peeling, Do. Not. Touch. It.
This is exactly how you make it so much worse. Its hard to leave it alone, but try your best.
10. You can always take a pain reliever to help the pain.
Sunburns hurt, and sometimes we need something to take the pain away.
We have all been sunburned before and we all need to make sure we take care of our skin the right way!
1. Ariul 7 Days
If you want to see instant results, use this mask. Ariul 7 Days reveals a noticeable difference in the appearance of your skin after just one use. With an extensive selection offering a solution for a variety of skin concerns, you can't go wrong in trying one of these out.
2. Masque Bar
If you've been dying to try out the foil mask trend that has been popping up on your Instagram feed, purchase one from Masque Bar. Competing brands sell a similar product for upwards of $25, but Masque Bar delivers the same results for significantly cheaper.
3. Peach Slices
A K-beauty brand, this product more than lives up to the hype about Korean skincare products. Peach slices offers masks and treatments for a myriad of skincare concerns, and it is especially calming for those with acne. Like Ariul 7 Days, products from the Peach Slices brand will offer instant results to reveal improved skin.
4. Beauty 360
Beauty 360 is excellent for mud and clay masks that won't irritate your skin. Though many high-end brands are packed with powerful ingredients that get the job done, they are often too aggressive on the skin. Beauty 360 is a more affordable alternative that will clarify your pores without leaving behind redness.
5. Yes To
For a quality sheet mask to bring back your glow, try Yes To. This brand utilizes the natural ingredients present in certain foods to help restore your skin.
