Yes, as a matter of fact I had fairly severe sun or wind burn on my legs a couple years ago, and quite painfull. FWIW: Used an amber coloured solution in spray bottle and sprayed on legs as often as remembered. Continued for 4 days. I failed to note pain level throughout all this unfortunately, but legs were 'tanning?' already, and tanning *brown* that is, not blue. Day 7, redness practically gone, no water blisters apparant. Day 15, legs started to peel. Day 20, peeling in earnest now. Around day 28, last remnants of skin peeling. Haven't had sun or wind burn for quite a while, but I thought peeling process took rather a long time.
The interesting thing that was very noticable: Natural dead skin loss only. Could not manually peel skin from any area where the skin was not already dead, it broke before peeling from areas that was not ready to be peeled. From memory, one could peel skin and expose tender red/raw skin which is tender to the touch, could not do that this time. Only skin that was dead was able to be removed manually. My conclusion: With the EIS/CS treatment, I believe it assisted the repair, or 'preparation' if you like, of the underlying skin before the dead skin was able to come away thus exposing new skin to the elements only when time appropriate. Oh, and my legs are still normal skin colour 2 1/2 years later. N.

I gave her some CS water, but it didn't help. Does anyone on the list have any home remedies for sunburn ? Thanks, Smitty
