Sunscreen and other protectant products can provide important help, although they may be too late.  In more general terms, there are a variety of common pain relief strategies, including distraction and meditation.  For example, some people might find pleasure in doing sports, others might enjoy exercise, and others might enjoy getting involved in a social activity or going for a walk.  The point is to do something positive, and try to experience things in a new way.

Okay, that makes sense.

It can also help to think about the importance of looking after one’s own health.  If you think about this a bit, it might be important to be mindful of the sunburn’s symptoms and how you can avoid a serious one.  If you’ve had a sunburn and/or similar symptoms before, you might consider that you have some tendency to make careless choices.  Just bear in mind that this tendency can be changed, but you’ll have to make conscious effort.  By encouraging awareness and willingness to make choices you consider wise, you can slowly over time create a less self-destructive pattern.

Okay well I already have one. So what can I do?

Okay, it sounds like you’ve had one before and you’re continuing to make bad choices.  Would you like to make a positive choice?  If so, I think you’ll need to put effort into it, since it’s likely an unconscious habit.  So what does your habitual reaction to sunburn involve?  What do you do when you’re in the sun and you realize your skin is burning?  For example, maybe you become annoyed or tense, and wish to get away.  What happens next?
