First, get out of the sun and stay out of it for several days. Second, water lots of it, in you, on you and more in you.If you are dehydrated, drink three times as much water (at room temperature - cold water will make you sicker) as you think you need. Continue over the next three days to drink an eight ounce glass of water at the very least once an hour you are awake. Once you have been dehydrated, you will forever be prone to having it happen again, so carry water with you. And NO, drinking anything else does not count. In fact for every cup of coffee, tea, or cola or any other drink containing caffeine, you should drink an extra glass of water... same goes for alcohol. If you are sunburned, a mild burn (redness and tenderness) get yourself into a tub of room temperature water... NO a shower will not do... then apply aloe jell to the affected area and if you have no trouble with aspirin, take a couple. For a medium case of sunburn, (redness with blistering) wet cloths on the affected areas, DO NOT break the blisters, as above if you can, take aspirin. Aloe vera, jell is still you best bet, unless applying it pulls the skin too much, in which case make an infusion of callendula petals with a drop or two of either tea tree oil or lavender oil (both are anti-septic) and add this to the water you are wetting your cloths with. If the burn is very bad, go to the hospital. The preceding advice was sound, except possibly for the part about soaking in water. The problem with water is that it is usually laced with irritating chemicals, such as chlorine, which will aggravate the problem by drying the skin even further. The two best methods for sun burn treatment are tropical applications of apple cider vinegar and colloidal silver at different times, which are to be left until they are absorbed totally. Silver solutions are still used by the establishment in burn centers. It is worth nothing that the aloe vera found in most retailers is typically laced with horrible impurities, which will absorb directly into your tissues and blood, so always obtain it from a health food store.

Why not have it just where it is? We have a good thing going here on earth, and it is based on our orbit about the sun and the sun's location in the Milky Way. It's not too hot nor too cold, and we don't have too much interference from other stars.

The best patio umbrellas will be different for different people. Most commonly, people assume that the only thing a patio umbrella can do is open up and keep the sun out of your eyes.
