After Sun Solutions
When the sun breaks through our combined efforts of sunscreen, shade and a generous hat, there are a few basic after-care solutions to be aware of.
Pain Relief
The main way to relieve sunburned skin is to hydrate it. Whether you use a home remedy or a purchased product, try vitamin E and aloe. Cool milk - in a bath or compress - can help as the lactic acid will reduce inflammation while the cooler temperature will soothe the burn.
Help in Healing
It may still take a few weeks for your burn to heal completely, but you can help the process by drinking fluids and eating high protein foods. Most importantly, you should definitely avoid additional sun exposure while healing.

Bounce back from the summer sun with Hydrotherapy and Water Therapy at AquaTerre. Customized combinations of minerals, essential oils and natural ingredients can help you relax, revive and renew.

Golfing in Parksville
As a world-famous outdoor playground with a yearly average of 2047 hours of sunshine, the Parksville area naturally boasts impressive golfing experiences.
Contrary to popular opinion, the eastern coast of Vancouver Island doesn't see very many wet days. Called a 'rain shadow' the Island's mountains create a precipitation barrier that provides excellent golfing weather.
There are 4 golf courses near us here at Pacific Shores making Parksville ideal for golf holidays.
