I got myself a major lobster sunburn. Does anyone have any tips on shaving while sunburned?
I’ve got some glycerine I use to treat my badger brushes.add a couple of drops of glycerin to your lather
Living in AZ I have had my share of sunburns, and this just sounds excruciating!A full facial with an alum block seems to help
After my morning treatment, my face felt really good so decided to shave. More moisturizing wash and preshave, TOBS sensitive skin shave soap. Rockwell 6C on plate #3 and I never felt the blade. Post shave was the same as I conditioned with in the morning and my face feels better than before I went out in the sun yesterday. All that product is a moisturizing and hydrating repair crew. My face is still beet red, but now it feels plump and happy.I decided to wait another day although it’s starting to feel pretty good now. Started the morning with a good face wash, and then an alum block over my entire face followed by Thayers witch hazel aloe toner, hyaluronic acid and a good moisturizer. The heat is gone.
+1First treat the sun burn and DONT shave...no need to
Once the burn goes down, do a one pass with a mid aggression razor and a nice soap. Skip alcohol and use balm, more than once
Three bits of advice:
Good luck, glad it's improved already.
- Don't shave until it's completely healed. You have damaged the outer layers of your skin. Give them time to heal.
- To help the healing, use 100% aloe. Use a lot. Use it often. Yes, it's sticky, and it's slimey, but it works.
- Invest in sunscreen for all future outside pursuits.
