- If you go on a fabulous tropical holiday and get really badly sunburnt, apply some rich moisturiser. Do it again a couple of hours later. And again. And again. If you’re not in the act of moisturising, then you should be in the act of thinking about when you’re next going to do it. That way, you’ll avoid godawful peeling. Although picking is fun.
- If you’re going to be wearing a physically irritating piece of clothing – like a non-lined sequined shrug (as opposed to a mentally irritating piece like anything Mischa Barton may wear), apply a barrier cream underneath it. That means either something sport-astic (ha, like I can name brands) or something for preventing Nappy Rash, or 3B cream, with those creepy ads with personificated boobs, thighs and butt crack. You’ll be far less irritated by your clothing, and thank me for it in the morning.
- Beware wax creams that go underneath eyeshadow, because they may make your eyeshadow crease. Okay, so that’s not really a very well thought-out tip, but how about I add “Beware the luxury and fantastic service of the Hawthorn Lounge” to that, and we call it a day?

I only get super sunburt occasionally these days, but when it happens, and I need to be somewhere the next day and not look like a lobster, I pop a couple of asprin along with the moisuriser. It takes away some of the red, and a wee bit of the pain so you’re not so ‘burnt to a crisp’ the next day.
This is going to sound weird, but best sunburn saver I’ve ever had was having egg whites rubbed into the burn. It took the sting out instantly and I didn’t even peel.
I love PPP.
