THERE IS NO worse pain than trying to wear straps over sunburned shoulders.
A woman has revealed the clever trick she uses to soothe her skin and prevent further discomfort.
On a Reddit publishuser I_just_need_coffee demonstrated the simple styling trick.
The poster came up with a DIY solution for her sunburned shoulders, which caused pain when she wore a bra.
Posing in a black sports bra, the woman revealed that she reused two maxi pads to make the fit more comfortable.

How does sunscreen prevent aging?
Michael Aziz, internist and author of the upcoming book The Ageless Revolution, explained how sunscreen prevents aging.
“Sunscreen protects the skin by acting as a barrier against harmful UV rays,” Dr. told The US Sun.
“There are two main types of sunscreen ingredients: mineral and chemical.
“Mineral ingredients like zinc oxide and titanium dioxide form a physical shield, reflecting UV light away from the skin.
“Without SPF protection, your skin may develop uneven pigmentation in an effort to protect itself from the sun’s rays, leading to possible sun damage such as sun spots and premature aging.
“Using sunscreen is essential to prevent this and keep your skin healthy.”
“Damn if that isn’t smart!” said another Reddit user.
Another reader was very grateful to find the homemade hack.
“OMG I’m sunburned right now, BLESSED,” they wrote.
“I got the worst sunburn on my shoulders on vacation. I couldn’t wear a bra or anything with straps. The pain was unreal,” said another person.
“This wasn’t my last shoulder sunburn, so I’m prepared for next time. Thank you!”
