Hello community,

I just got back from a beach vacation, and unfortunately, I didn’t reapply sunscreen as often as I should have. Now I’m dealing with a painful sunburn on my legs and chest. I’ve been using cold compresses and taking ibuprofen to help with the pain, which seems to be working, but I’m more concerned about preventing this from happening again.

For those of you who have fair skin like me, what do you do to prevent sunburns? Are there specific sunscreens or protective clothing that you swear by? I’m planning another trip soon, and I want to make sure I’m better prepared this time!

Thanks for any tips you can share.
