How to Soothe a Sunburn



I'm on a home remedies kick, and the one on chapped lips and this one are on request.

* vinegarlinks: My mom swears by this one. Apple vinegar or white vinegar is best. For large areas you can dilute it in water.

* Lemon juice: Not straight! Dilute it with water and then apply it to your sunburn with a cotton ball.

* Aloe: It comes in gel form, but if you have an aloe vera plant you can just cut a piece and rub the sap on your burnt skin.

* Carrots: You can grate a carrot and put it on your sunburn.

* Oatmeal: Definitely let it cool first before you put it on.

* Apple: You can mash some with a mortar and pestle and make a paste to use.

* Cabbage: You can make a paste with a cabbage leaf and a bit of olive oil, too.

* Cool shower: It will feel good and calm the itching. Just make sure to pat dry so you don't further irritate your skin.

Be sure to check out the link I found for oatmeal. It has a pretty cool list of other remedies as well.

If you have more ideas on dealing with sunburns, leave a comment so we can get a good list going before summer.
