Lilith---This works for me.I'm blonde&have light skin.We have an
above ground pool mostly for my Grandchildren.I'm not much of a swimmer.I usually just get wet & float around on a float!I keep a
wet facecloth over my eyes.Once I get a base,I'm allright!After I
get out.I cover myself with something like Vasoline Intensive Care
or any store brand.It moisturises your skin & keeps you from burning.I get red that night but by morning it is tan.Over the summer,I get really tan,but never sunburn.I use no sunblock whatever,but never burn!As far as taking the pain out,I don't know.I haven't burned in years.I slowly acustom my motorcycle
racing scars,a little bit at a time.Scar tissue burns very easily until
you have a base!Not the most advisable,but it works for me.I have,also,had my wife try it & it works for her.I guess it keeps the skin from drying out! Irish
