any advice on soothing sunburn?

Question:

Answers:
aloe vera is definitely the best thing if you can get hold of a plant.easy to buy in any decent garden centre.
cut the hard outer skin from the leaf leaving a green sticky substance,looks like green turkish delight,and then gently dab onto skin and rub gently in with your fingers.

if you can't get a fresh plant then any good after sun containing aloe vera will help.best are hawaiian tropic or boots soltan products.

if the skin isn't broken lemon juice is also very good

natural yoghurt is also very good.

please ignore the idiots who recommended chilli or toothpaste,they're just trying to wind you up.

Other Answers:
Aloe.

Or use a product like Dermalogica's After Sun Repair.

rub red hot chilli powder into the skin, then start on with the lemon and lime juice

Use lotion, aloe or cocoa butter. If you want to numb the pain, use an ointment or spray with the topical anesthetic Benzocaine or Lidocaine.

if u dont have any aftersun put moisturiser in the fridge/freezer, make it ice cold then use it, will help soothe it.

Just about any after-sun product will help. Just keep it moisturised to stop the skin from pealing and stay out of the sun for a couple of days

Cold tea dabbed onto the skin, it stings but works well
