I've recntly started lifeguarding and have gotten a preet bad sunburn on my back, sholders, and feet. Is it ok if I put ice on it? Will ice help it get better faster?

Ice will make it feel a little better but that is about it. I use aloe vera instead. You can apply it to where you are sunburn to re-moisturize the dried and burnt surfaces.

Ice will make it feel better but it will also make it peel.
