---|---|
Today I was outside digging up some sod, going to level the ground out
and put up a pool, I had sunblock on but I must have sweated it off or something, I got some sun burn and it hurts I don't have any of the stuff I usually use, anyone have a home remedy for soothing sunburn? I know it was posted here before but I can't find it. Thanks |

aloe from an aloe vera plant works well for me.

Vinegar..takes out the sting and fades it faster
|
|
|
|
do you have an aloe plant? Take an ibprofen if you can.
I can't think of anything else as far a natural that might help. |
|
|
|
Unfornately I don't have that plant, I usually use a loton with it in
but I'm out. |

If you have no aloe, cut a ripe tomato, and rub it on your burns...paw
paw, (papaya) is another good one.. |

Soul- is white vinegar ok? should I put it on a washclothe and just hold
it there or drip it on? |

Jess- fair skinned redhead here I'm going to write that down cause I
tend to burn alot-usually forget to put sunblock on |

loads of plain yogurt!!!
|
|
|
|
plain white vinegar will do just fine, I use a spritzer bottle to apply
it..the tomatoe works too!! |
|
|
|
the aloe vera or yogurt--don't rub it in. Put on about 1/2 inch of it
and wrap up in a loose sheet. |
|
|
|
Sassy- you mean rub it on or eat it?

Take a cool shower then put on some Vitamin E skin cream. Your burn will
fade within that day. Vitamin E repairs the skin and is good for you too. |

If you have any geraniums. You can take the leaf or the flower smash in
a food processor add a little ice water to make it smoothe. You can apply it tonight. Then tomorrow, warm some in olive oil for 20 minutes in a double boiler, let cool and apply. Girls geranium oil is one of the wonders for the skin, it will make your skin youthful again. Repair any damage, it is an old ancient remedy for any types of skin problems. Jade Jade |

You can also add some vitamin E oil or sqeeze a tablet or two into your
