Hi Ultimate Princess,
If you will spend long time under the sun, make sure you apply sunblock with a high SPF with UVA and UVB filters. The difference between suncreen and sunblock is that the former denatures UV rays only and some of it may be absorbed. It usually has a SPF of less than 15. Whereas sunblock blocks out and reflects the harmful rays, just like the mirror.It usually has a SPF of more than 15.
For after suncare, wash your face in cold water and no scrubbing. You may want to apply cucumber slices on the sunburnt area. Applying Vit E cream or aloe vera gel will speed up the healing process. Scotland is located in the Northern hemisphere, be particularly careful in high altitudes and tropical climates as radiation is more intense in these areas. Do remember to wear high SPF and to reapply often. Also, some medicines(Accutane I think for acne) can make your skin sensitive to the sun.
Hope this helps. =)
