It’s always summer somewhere and if it’s not where you are then there is always a tanning bed nearby that can help you pretend it is. If you’re low on money though the first thing anyone will try is just your tradition laying out in the sun. This all seems great until you have a client hosting a party or even worse a bride who is crying because she or he is going to be a big ugly tomato at their event.  As their coordinator their problems is your problem because if they should be enjoying the party not worry about their face. I have been on the search for a quick cure to sunburn since as long as I can remember. And luckily for you and me this summer I stumbled along the best solution yet!

Start off by doing this immediately:

Soak a pad in a 50-50 solution of apple cider vinegar and water, and then dab it over the inflamed area. Next, toss wet tea bags in a freezer for ten minutes (I did green tea) and then gently press them on the burn.  Once face is dry apply Aloe Vera vigorously. Also a day after the initial burn before you go to sleep but a little Desitin (yes it is a baby diaper ointment, but I guarantee it takes out redness like nobody’s business) on the redness.

To cover up for the actual event:

Do the above minus the Desitin. Then pat on a green-tinted base (have heard good things about Bourjois Lovely base ($20) and Physicians Formula green stick (available in drug stores) ) with a damp sponge or foundation brush (gentler than your fingers) to counter act the red burn. Then blend on a dab of yellowish foundation (once again physicians formula has some great ones). Use a light hand and “don’t get too bogged down by layers,” says makeup artist sally. “A little pink is a lot more natural-looking than a dense block of color.”
