Self Help Mantra - Soothe The Sunburn

If you have got yourself a sunburn, while traipsing around in heat, here are a few tips on how tou can combat the awful pain and discomfort :

Certain kinds of lotions help, especially if they contain aloe vera. The gooey substance from this plant soothes minor scrapes and burns. Apply this lotion very liberally. When your skin has soaked it all in, reapply it. To really get the most out of it, put the lotion in the refrigerator and then apply it. This will help to relly cool your skin down temporarily.

Apply cool, canned cream mixed with a touch of sugar.

Raw egg white will also provide relief.

After you get a sunburn, you should stay in the cool, and out of the sun as much as possible.

Try to wear loose clothing. If your clothing rubs your burn, it will make it feel worse.
