Tan Line Fiasco!

That is hilarious (sorry! :), but prob will fade by Tues, at least enough to where all you'll need is a little foundation around the eyes w/ some bronzer or blusher that matches the faded burn. It reminds me of a story about my roommate from yrs ago, he had wiped something like 1000 SPF cursorily on his face and arms and around his belly, we were sitting on the roof w/ beers and listening to music w/ friends and getting some sun... well we forgot the time and when we went back to apartment, we noticed he had burned significantly across his exposed belly, arms, chest -- except there were white hand prints covering his boobs, where he had wiped the excess lotion. so funny, even he couldn't stop laughing... At least he had a shirt to cover up his little mistake... Good luck to you!!

Take some OTC pain relievers to take the burn down. Make sure you apply a lot of moisture to the burn otherwise you are going to peel, and that won't look good either. By Tuesday you should be fine. Whenever I get a sunburn they are usually gone within two days at the most, and I have pale skin.

It should fade by Tues, If not use a little foundation or a concealer (preferably one made for eyes) to get it to match. You may have to do some tests to see what looks best. I do believe it will fade by Tues so don't sweat it yet!!

Dermablend is a concealer that burn and scar victims use. I know Ulta used to carry it. It covers everything and isn't very heavy and matches a variety of skin tone.

I am extremely pale and never tan, but the Jergens self tanning lotion worked well for me. I am not sure how many days it takes to be effective though.

Worst case scenario, you could sunblock everywhere and go outside or to a tanning bed. Maybe it would even it out some even if it didn't totally catch up.

Or just explain to everyone what happened, it might make a good conversation starter:)

I wouldn't do anything yet as it could fade considerably by then. I'm sure it will look fine by then ;)
