Sunburn relief

Aloe Vera heals quicker than anything I know. Honey also has great healing properties, although it's extremely sticky. You can buy pure Aloe Vera at the health store or at most grocer's, walgreens, target, etc.

If there aren't blisters use distilled vinegar. It sounds weird, but if you get a cloth or papertowel soaked in vinegar and let it sit on the burn it will "take the burn out" within hours. If you apply right before bed you will feel much much better in the morning. It will stink and you will have to wash your bedding, but it's worth it.
Do not do this if you have blisters. It will hurt with blisters. Same with the aloe - it will hurt with blisters. For blister relief get some Lanacane (get it over the counter at any pharmacy). It won't help the burn, but it will relieve the pain from blistering. Once you heal the blisters you can use the other techniques to soothe the burn.

Reason: Aloe

Aloe, Aloe, Aloe!

The sun takes the moisture from your skin and you need to replenish it with aloe and lotions. Something like solarcaine will numb the area so you won't hurt but don't forget to use the aloe vera lotions, it will also help prevent peeling.

Aloe

it is the best plant ever

I used to uses those Aveeno oatmeal baths when I got sunburned. It takes aways the sting, you can find it anywhere and it's really cheap.

The gel is amazing! I LOVE IT!!!!
