the pain of sunburn...besides the large amount of aloe and vitamin E I've been using.

noxema helps

Solarcaine

Right on. Worth every penny.

Also, Motrin and Aleve work wonders. If you know a nurse or healthcare professional, ask them if they have any Silvadine. That is for second degree burns and is awesome.

Vinegar

vinegar. use cotton balls to dab it on. it stinks a bit but it does help. solarcaine you can only use so many times a day. vinegar, well you can keep slathering it on.

I found this............


If the burn is very recent (still red and not peeling), use a tomato. Tomato juice is acidic but it doesn't hurt and helps the redness.

Apply a cold wet teabag to the afflicted area; put some warm water in a small bowl and put a teabag in it, then shake the teabag off and dab on. The moisture slowly evaporates off the skin cooling it, and the tea soothes the skin helps bring out the tan (wash the brown tincture off afterwards).

Calendula ointment is also a very effective treatment, especially good for severe burns with blistering. You can find it at a naturopath.

Apply witch hazel lotion, a good aloe alternative.

Unless you have abrasions on the burned skin, try vinegar. Mix 50-50 with cool water, soak towels in the solution and drape over the burns.

When you have a bath, add ½ a cup of baking soda or some oatmeal to it. This will help to reduce the swelling.


.......... hope it helps

I heard putting mayonaise will help sunburns, though I haven't personally tried it.

Also- St. Ives extra-moisturizing lotion will work well, too.

Thank you Ella
