We recently went to Cedar Point for some coaster fun. My face got fried and I tried to shave(can you say ouchhhhhh!). I know this will happen again any suggestion on how to prep for shave, I know(stay out of the sun).
Shave with sunburn
- Thread starter pressman
- Start date
Try some aloe. It should cool the burn and help your skin to heal in no time. Usually, within 48 hours... You can always get it in Gel at the pharmacy/chemist or if you have a plant, it's even better...
If you can't wait 2 days then I would include aloe in my prep.

It's not quite moisturizing enough for me to do that, but I slap some on otherwise whenever I'm need of some cooling/soothing. Niiiice.
Have you thought of using sunblock?
Apply aloe and don't shave for a few days.
You don't want to apply anything to an area that is still warm from the burn. You first need to cool the burn,( cold towels, time, etc..) let the area breath. If you cover-up the burned area, without cooling first, it will continue to burn. Aloe is usually good after a cool shower and time to let the burn cool, its a little painful but will payoff in the long run. On shaving w/ a sunburn I would wait a couple days. And, next time wear sunblock! (50) Good luck!!
Sunburn sucks, I'd wait as long as possible before even trying to shave. Cedar Point, however, is awesome.
