Soothing the pain of being outside in the Texas sun for a long four-day 4th of July weekend will leave a mark. Many of my coworkers came back to the job with some gnarly sunburns.

Did you leave your cell phone on your arm, while falling asleep during your time at the beach? That makes for an unusual sunburn, so you might want to turn that into an opportunity to try some unconventional remedies.

You could go with a commercial after-sun lotion. It works, but that also means a trip to the store if you don't already have some. Extra points if you do have some, and you keep it in the refrigerator.
