This is what happens when stupid teenagers think they can win against the sun.

So yesterday, I went to the city beach with some friends. The city beach, for those who are unaware, is a beach substitute for us city-dwellers, which has sand (over concrete) and a chlorinated pool. There are also fountains and parks and cafes and it is generally a nice place to spend the day.
However, after spending the whole day there, I discovered that I had been so burnt that it appeared as though someone had boiled me. Now my back and shoulders are so red and painful that it feels like I might just burst into flames at every moment. I have applied thus far: 


Moisturizer
Cold water
Aloe cream
Aloe gel
More moisturizer
Sunburn cream
Icepacks
Cold flannels
More aloe. 


The only result is that my skin has dimmed a bit from strawberry to a bit of a more human colour.


WEAR SUNSCREEN.
