It is summer season and you decide to lay out and enjoy the sun after a long cold winter. You know better, but you somehow manage to get sunburned. Here are some home remedies to help ease and sooth the pain.
1) Apple Cider Vinegar
After a cool shower, apply apple cider vinegar with a clean cloth to your skin and let it dry.
2) Cucumber
Apply sliced and chilled cucumber to the sunburned skin.
3) Cornstarch
Add water to the cornstarch or baking soda by creating a paste and applying gently over the skin.
4) Lotion
Use lotion that contains Aloe Vera.
5) Milk
Apply cool milk with a clean cloth to your skin…it will help ease some of the discomfort by easing some of the heat and creating a layer of protein to protect your skin.
6) Tea
Apply cool (not hot) tea with a clean cloth to your skin…it will help draw heat from the sunburned skin.
7) Yogurt
Apply plain yogurt directly to your burn and let is sit for at least 5 minutes…rinse it off with cool water.
Of course, the best remedy for sunburn is prevention. Always use sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and avoid direct sun exposure. Have a great summer!
