Sounds like some quality stuff! Thanks for the tip. I'll try to pick some up at the store.

Make sure you wash the dome after you're done with that treatment. Otherwise, you'll walk around smelling like a side salad.

Vinegar is a proven remedy to take the sting out of a sunburn. Apple Cider is a little better than white, if you can handle the smell. Rinse it with a mild conditioning soap. Living on the coast I have had a few Vinegar baths after being at the beach longer than expected and forgetting to re-apply the sunscreen.
Vinegar is also used by lifegaurds at the beaches to take the sting out from jellyfish, they keep a ample supply.
Most pure aloe products will cool the burn but they usually feel like your coated with a thin veneer after, I would think this would cause some discomfort when you move your eyebrows. Solarcaine works good for the sting and leaves your skin oily, so if you get really burnt you might consider it.

OK, here's mine...but you better LOVE a REAL shiny head (and a little sticky, but will help)...they have vitamin E oil...it's thinner than the regular vitamin e you find in the caplets...it WILL help, but you'll be WAY shiny and a bit sticky...
but your dome will heal....
Lesson learned....use 30spf or higher....a few days of tanned head isn't worth weeks of a damaged peeling dome you can't shave nice and slick...
use sunscreen, my friend!
