My gripe: Eating tomatoes has not helped me at all. I eat plenty of them and I burn so easily.
Here's a real good one for when you get sunburn. I used a product that I got in Hawaii. It is called... get this... Maui Aui. It has Aloe, Caledula for the skin and white willow for the pain and st. john's wort for the itch. It's great through the hurting,itching pealing phases and I think it made me heal faster. It sure made things feel better. It wasn't very expensive, $8 or $9 if I remember correctly and it was WELL worth it. There was no phone number on it but the company name says Nature's Rite. This stuff is like Natural Solarcaine. with aloe and skin regenerator. It's really cool.
Thanks Frank...I am bound to catch a burn at some point this summer, I always do. My luck it would be while I was on the deck eating a tomato sandwich.
*cute name... Maui Aui!
I love Maui Aui! I'm so glad that other people know about it!! Nature's Rite is a fantastic company!! I have a summer house in Hawaii and so I go through bottles of the stuff.
