Sunburn...strap lines :-(

Don't sunbed on top of burnt skin!

Put on loads of aloe vera/aftersun, keep covered up and suncreamed for the next few weeks and see how it looks once it's less angry.

Iv got strap lines with 34 ( I'm sure it's 34!!) days to go! I'm just going to wear strapless tops from now on and if it dosnt go use the same bare minerals I'm useing do my face, on my back and shoulders as it seems to cover a lot for me!

Gosh I wish I kept any sort of tan for ten weeks! Surely your tan marks don't usually last that long? Mine have normally gone after two.

As Helenia said, never use a sunbed on burnt skin!

Just use aftersun liberally and make sure you put at least factor 15 everyday to ensure you don't get marks again.

I'm sure it will have gone within 10 weeks, don't worry

Let it calm down for at least a couple of weeks, and then strapless tops only, even if its cloudy! It'll balance itself out a bit, and fade a fair bit by then

I tan so easily so will still have tan marks in 10 weeks, still got strap marks on my feet from last summers sandals that haven't faded.

My dress isn't strapless thank god but will still slightly show. Its meant to be nice tomorrow so strapless top and try even it out :-)

Deliberately trying to get more burnt is also not the best idea!

Use sun screen and lots of it. High factor where you've already caught the sun and lower where you haven't that will help even it out. If you've burnt though you really should cover up for a few days, then go with the sunscreen/blocking. But in all honesty the chances of you getting fully even now I would have said are slim but you can even it out. It will fade in ten weeks tho and will be more noticeable to you than others. X

I second all previous advice and also want to add- try out a spray tan! I had my practice one last week and it's super-natural and sunkissed- people say I look well, not tango-ed!

I've been thinking about this for next summer.... I do not own boob tubes and wont buy them as I hate them, so thinking either cover up or pull my straps down under my arm pits........ Tan lines show up in photos dont they!

Maybe you should put some body butter over your burns each night and see how they look in a few weeks...?? I'd think sun bedding on top of the burn will only make it worse if not break your skin.

I strongly recommend avoiding sunbeds! Skin cancer risk just isn't worth it. I suggest keep well moisturised and use after sun etc and it should be plenty of time to fade.

Yes, forgot to say this earlier! A spray tan should even things out and is (hopefully!) less likely to rub off onto your dress than cover-up makeup. Plus much less painful and less skin cancer risk than getting more burnt.
