What is something healing to put on a sunburn?

the and it to aloe vera will on can skin in skin.

Best Answer

When I have had severe sunburn I%26#039;ve used towels soaked in cold milk and it soothes it. Once the towel is warm, soak it in more cold milk. It really takes the heat and sting out of it. When I was first told about it I was skeptical until I was severely sunburned and tried it and it worked so well.

Also using aloe vera gel with lidocaine in it helps alot and make sure you keep the skin moist with the aloe all the time so it doesn%26#039;t dry out. If it drys out it really can be a problem as it tightens up and is very painful.

Ice packs can be used for up to 20 minutes at a time and witch hazel compresses can be used as well. You may want to try taking an anti inflammatory like Aleve or Advil as they can also help reduce inflammation.

I hope this helps!

Michelle Too much experience :-(

Apply aloe vera or vinegar on the affected skin; it will stop inflammation and pain. Avoid products made from benzocaine, lidocaine and petroleum jelly. Rub mustard oil on the affected skin and allow to it dry, this will take out the heat from the skin. Cut fresh cucumber slices and rub them on the affected area. Before taking bath, add some baking powder to the bath water, this will help to soothe the burnt skin. Apply lavender oil or peppermint oil on the burnt skin. Apply apple cider vinegar to the burnt skin using cotton ball. Take herbal bath; put few drops of chamomile and lavender essential oils in bath water. Take epsom salt or ice compress. Grate some potatoes and apply them on the burnt skin. Starch from the potatoes will soothe the burn.
