How do you say "I'm sunburnt" in Japanese?
As in,"Because I went to the beach I'm sunburnt" (”海に行きましたから、_____”)
I've looked on Google Translate and dictionaries but it just translates "sunburn". Any help please? Thanks

Hmm... that use of the conditional strikes me as a little odd.

Thanks - I don't really need the other part, that was just an example 
Instead of " 日焼けしてしまいました" can you just say "日焼けしました" or something like that?
Thanks, Deibiddo

Yes you can. If you (or the speaker) adds ~てしまいました the sentence becomes more emotive (i.e. regret from the undesirable outcome)

I avoided から because (unless perhaps you were asked why you are sunburnt) it sounds to me like going to the sea will unavoidably give you sunburn. たら just sounds like getting sunburnt was the result of their going to the beach.
