Any good remedies for sunburns?
Question:
is there anything that will help the pain and make it go away faster besides aloe?
Answers:
to ease the pain,take a cool baths,or put cool wet towels on the skin 3 to 4 times a day.you may add 2 or 3 tablespoon of baking soda to bath water,An oatmeal bath will also help ease the pain.Drink at least 6-9 glasses a day
Don't put first aid creams or ointments,or spray
on the burn,you may gently rub in cold cream or baby lotion.
vinegar, or noxema will help with the pain,
Aloe. And wear a white shirt to keep it cool. Mabye an ice pack. But nothing else I can think of.
Aloe
Aloe gel is the fastest thing that will work
Dip your sunburned areas in cold water as frequently as possible, and use Aloe Vera (vitamin E) lotion often.
Vinegar, of course you'll smell like a salad lol. It does take the sting out though. Not Noxema, it leaves a residue when it drys.
Cool water rinse or apply cold water compresses with a clean towel. There are also afterburn products available that use aloe vera and a pain killer.
I used vinegar on my last bad one... it took a lot f the sting away.
And then lotion at night
and
(amazingly) a product called Bactine made my skin feel GREAT
plain aspirin if you aren't allergic, also try some vinegar (ick) in your bath.it's actually the vinegar like component in the aspirin that takes the sting out of the burn. if you don't like the idea of smelling like fish and chips..take a tepid bath with aveeno bath products then apply cold aloe after sun product...something loaded with emolients. but the aspirn will help.
vinegar
natural yoghurt is great for sunburn plus it acts as a cooling agent.
hope this helps.
Early on, use aloe - I like Banana Boat's Soothacaine.
After the burning sensation has died down (2-3 days later), use Johnson & Johnson First aid cream to reduce peeling and speed up healing.
If you take asprin with 24 hours or getting burned, the effects of the burn can be prevented.
I burn easily and have tried everything - this works the best and helps the brown discoloration from severe burning go away.
apple cider vinager! works wonder if you can stand the smell. put it on there and let it sit till it kinda goes numb then wash it off in the shower. takes the pain and everything out.
rubbing alcohol!
put it on at night and then the next day the burn is completly gone. its still red, but no bur at all! it really is amazing!! i did beleive it until i tried it.
