My face was blistered and it was SO painful and taking forever to heal. Wash cloths soaked in ice water and vinegar helped the pain. And pure vitamin E oil really got the healing process going. It is cheap and a miracle worker! My face was drawn so tight I I looked 100 yrs old. The vitamin e oil began working immediately!

Pretty decent and economical. I use it to clean my face too. Pam, I can just imagine the sun burns you got working all day in the fields without sunscreen! :-( Times have sure changed. I think every parent lathers their kid up during the summer without fail. Each kid in day camp has their own bottle of sun screen in their back pack, etc. I do remember one time when my daughter about 9 and she went to the lake without sunscreen. She came back with the a burn that took weeks to completely heal. I felt like the world's worst mom! These days I do everything to <em>avoid</em> a burn. I don't like the feel of sun screen on my skin, but I will wear it. I have actually purchased <strong>and</strong> worn the big floppy hat which I didn't think I would do when I was in my 20's..... I don't want to do anything to look older than I am, but skin cancer weighs on my mind too.... Noxzema is still around. Pretty decent and economical. I use it to clean my face too.

I use to use that religiously when I was a teenager.  Would also use it for sunburns but mostly used it to just cleanse my face. I have gotten some real whopping sunburns in my life but most date back to my teenage years and working in the corn fields. We did not use sunscreen back in the 70s. I think the only thing available back then was a sun tanning lotion by Coppertone.  I remember some pretty severe sunburns back then. Ugh I also remember in my college years, putting iodine in baby oil and slathering in all over our bodies to get a better tan.   What the heck were we thinking? Jennie,
