Will Clean & Clear work as good as Noxzema in taking the redness from my sunburn??
Question:
Answers:
OMG, you should never use noxema! Noxema is oil based so it hold the heat in which will prolong healing and can even intensify the burn! Clean and clear has a drying component to it which will dry out your skin and not benefit your sunburn. If you want to try something you probably have at home, use cool, moist tea bags.
Otherwise, here are som home treatment suggestions:
cool showers or baths
avoid creams or lotions that can hold heat inside (oil based)
drink lots of fluids
motrin or tylenol for pain
cool wet tea bags applied to the burn may also help
see doctor if you have blistering
stay out of the sun
if you must go out, keep sunburned areas covered
you can use OTC preps designed specifically for sunburn (to numb the pain and remove redness such as Solarcaine or aloe gel)
