Can someone please tell me how you can get rid of sunburn? Or atleast how can you make the redness and tha pain subside? I got burnt really bad yesterday and I dont have any of that Aloe Vera stuff so is there any other kind of lotion or gel that could help? Your help would be greatly appreicated!!

Vinegar helps, it gets rid of some of the redness, and help soothe the pain. Just put some on a paper towel and apply it directly to the sunburn. Hope that helps

Heylo

It's going to sound like a painful idea, but if you can stand hot water, take a hot shower. Sure, it hurts a little, but afterwards, it takes all the sting out of it. The hotter the better

mmm....when i have sunburn, i turn the hot water up all the way. and it feels cool. like hot + hot = cold. it's so awesome cuz it's the perfect cool too!

Umm, just wear really loose cotton clothes for now so it doesnt upset the burn. Put some lotion in the fridge and then after its really cold put some on.

Make baking soda into a paste with water and apply to the sunburn and let it sit on your skin for a little while. It takes the heat out...(sounds weird but it does work. My grandma always had my mom do it as a kid, and my mom mentioned it to her paramedic friend, and he said it does work.)

I did it in the shower when I used it so it wouldn't get all over the place. I've already been burned three times so far already this year...

lol, I was out mowing the lawn yesterday on our riding lawnmower, and i have very fair skin. And stupid me i wore shorts and a sleeveless tee-shirt, now i'm sunburned all over my face, legs, arms and shoulders. I use Noxzima. It really soothes the burns.

Hope that helps.

AnaheimPMWitch · 06-25-2003, 09:25 PM

well my burns usually turn into a tan but My Nose really burns badly i use Noxzema

TheHappyBurgerMeister · 06-25-2003, 09:44 PM

hot water to help sunburn? I never heard of that. very interesting. anyways, aloe vera is always good but I mostly use solarcaine lotion. That works pretty good. I get my stuff at Walgreens!

Hershey · 06-26-2003, 10:43 AM

Thanks for all the help! I got in the shower last night and I used really hot water and that seemed to help take out most of the stinging. I was going to buy Noxema buti decided to by this other face stuff...my Dad told me to put Noxema on but I dont have any. Oh well, I think its begining to go away. I have on a big cotton tee-shirt-LoL.
