Raw apple cider vinegar and water 50/50 dilution. Soak towel in solution and lay it on the burn for 15 minutes 3x a day. Pure aloe from the plant works wonders as well. Drink plenty of water.

Cool bath, put aloe vera gel in the fridge then apply, or coconut oil. The less clothing the better. Motrin for inflammation

NOXEMA!! this stuff works wonders on a sunburn. That’s what it was originally used for

Aloe Vera gel with Lidocain for the pain.

Even mixture of milk and water. Soak a wash cloth and lay on sunburn…

Black tea…vinegar…or noxema

Hot shower,vinegar and Bactine spray

I just got a bad burn yesterday. I’ve been using a combo of coconut oil with lavender and frankincense oils on my skin and it’s helped a lot.

I also have used unburn in the past, found it at Walmart. It’s aloe and lidocaine so helps with the pain.

And I rave about solar recover - discovered it on vacation last year and it helped a LOT.

Good luck mama!

Cold aloe gel, and this is gonna make me sound insane, a hot shower. When I get burnt (very rare but I get BURNT when I do get burnt) I always take a hot shower, sit naked for a minute then put the cold aloe on and sleep naked. Make sure to keep your skin moisturized too

Milk works wonders. I tried it the other day on my sunburn and next day the heat from the sunburn was gone

I put my aloe gel In The refrigerator then put it on it might not cure the burn but it sure soothes it.

There’s an Aloe lotion I use bc it’s amazing…
But, as odd as it sounds, and I’m a red head, Gold Bond lotion for burns. You can even use Gold Bond Baby Powder. No rubbing it in or sticky feeling either. :heart:

Cold shower vinegar alo

That happened to me in Florida. Lots of aloe and Ibuprophen helps with the pain. Stay hydrated. Good luck!

A very hot shower is what i do and i just tan out then

Epsom salt baths and lots ands lots of aloe as natural as u can get it best straight from the plant

I had a terrible burn on my shoulder to my back the only thing that really eased my pain is shea butter lotion

Noxema helps a lot it gets the red out and the sting.I always used it on me and my kids.Then aloe Vera.

Go get you a bottle of witch-hazel from the drugstore and it’s over the counter and it will take the sting out. Also when I was about 8 years old I sunburned very bad and I’m fair-complected so it was very painful. My aunt made me get in the shower and she poured canned pet milk all over the sunburned area and my skin was so hot, the milk clabbered and stunk like hell immediately but it also took the sting out immediately so just a thought

Just like any burn, getting in a really cool bath for at least 30 min will pull the heat out of it.

Aloe Vera with lidocaine. Walgreens has it

real tea bags let cool,soak a rag in it,put on burnt spots,Takes away sting and pain,Hopefully you won’t blister, I’m a sun worshiper IT WORKS

Aloe Vera. I keep my self doused in it when I’m burnt. For the few few days i put it on thick and when it soaks up put another layer on morning noon and night.

Tea bags and ibuprofen to reduce swelling

Start with white vinegar… once it dries apply aloe vera…

My little sister used to get burns that’d put her in the hospital as a kid :frowning:

If you have diaper rash medicine (desitin, butt paste, aquaphor, a&d, store brand) apply it to your sunburn. It coats the skin and really helps!
Cool bath, pat dry, do not rub … no perfumey soaps or lotions.

Aloe Vera gel also I like to put conditioner on sunburn and let it sit for a few while I’m in the shower. Feels so good!

Fill a pitcher with warm water and drop in three bags of BLACK TEA. The tannic acid and theobromine in black tea helps remove heat from sunburn. Other compounds in tea, called catechins, help prevent and repair skin damage. Let the tea bags soak until the water has turned a rich, dark black color.

Earl grey tea boil tea let cool to touch use a old towel and soak it. And lay the towel on the burn,leave on about 15-20 min.it will take the hurt away and some of the redness.

Vinegar, also heard menthol shaving cream

Honey-- 1 cup in a gallon of water; use soft cloth to gingerly apply & rinse, gently pat dry. Repeat every 4-6 hr

Menthol shaving cream. Put it on thick leave it about 15 then wipe off with cool wash cloth. It will take the burn right out

As soon as you can, have a cold shower (as cool as you can.) The skin keeps burning after you have been burnt.

Bactine and a soft white cotton tshirt

As gross as it sounds dilute some applecider vinegar and either poor it on or soak rags/papertowels in it and apply to the burnt areas. At first the stinging is worse but then it completely takes the sting out. I usually keep some aloe in the fridge and apply that afterwards

Fresh aloe leaves!!! We have plants in our yard but they sell the leaves at the grocery stores (like publix) works so much better then the bottle stuff and no added chemicals too!

Aloe Vera always helped me.

Tea bags, ocean potion (aloe and lidocaine), and the dark blue aveeno with cooling menthol. All work MIRACLES!

Peppermint and lavender essential oil therapeutic grade in aloe gel!

Aloe Vera has always worked for me!! Ocean potion aloe is my best friend lol I’m very fair skinned and I know how bad you feel!! But in my opinion, fresh chilled aloe leaves is the best!!

Vinegar a rag real good and rub that over your entire body. Then hop in the shower. Get a good aloe lotion to slather on. If don’t have that just plain aloe is great.

I was red as a lobster in March and I put straight distilled vinegar on with a washcloth. It stung for maybe 5 min but then was good. I used it 2 or 3 times a day because I was out in the sun a lot. I only peeled a little bit and normally it’s like I am shedding.

White vingear poured over burn.it will sting at first,but then the pain will ease.also cooled tea will help any blistered areas.any open areas cover thickly with a glaxa cream and loosely wrap with saran wrap on second day.

Nioxin stimulating balm, it is actually hair conditioner but works for soothing burns and lessening scars

Vitamin E capsules. Pop holes in them and rub the oil onto the burnt areas a few times a day

Apple Cidar Vinegar bath.

1 cup of Epsom salt in cool, tub of water soak for 30 minutes then spray silicone lotion on. Best feeling ever

Aloe and showers as cold as you can handle to take the burn away. Protect yourself from the sun . Use an umbrella at the beach.

Winter green rubbing alcohol

Dust self rising flour heavily on the skin burn

Works with kitchen burns also … I just keep apply flour til relief

Take a hot shower it takes the heat out but cold shower traps the heat and makes it worse. Then take aloe vera gel thats been sitting in the fridge and rub it on wherever you are burned. Hope you feel better soon!

If it blisters really bad then go to the Dr and get this sulfer cream

Aloe, I also heard milk of magnesia, vinegar also works great

Stand in cool shower and go till it’s cold.it will draw heat out

Vinegar helps ALOT! Pour it all over in the bath tub, rinse pat dry. Keep Aloe Vera gel in the fridge for the cooling sensation. Apply several times per day(some have a numbing agent in them). Last, check with the pharmacist for a product called “Foiled” or something like that. It’s a thick liquid and cures severe sunburn in several days. They used to make a spray also. But not as good as the ointment.

Don’t be stupid by getting burnt, your not 3

Mustard! I got so badly burnt at cma fest last year and was so miserable and couldn’t move or anything, someone told me about mustard I was desperate enough to try it and omg it worked miracles. You rub it on and let it stay on until it completely dries, make sure you cover the burn vigorously, once dried step in a cool shower and rinse it off, my burn didn’t even feel hot to the touch anymore and it was such a relief. If you can get past feeling like a human hot dog I recommend it. First time I didn’t put enough on so there was still some spots that burned so I rubbed it on those spots again and rinsed off and instant relief

Vinegar bath. Milk on towel and apply to skin

Aloe vera the PLANT!! Split it down the middle transverse and rub that slime on you

Vinegar, fell asleep on the beach when I was a teenager and my back got burnt bad. Vinegar soaked washcloths were the only relief I could find for the first couple days then switched to Aloe gel.

Vinegar is a lifesaver! There is instant relief with it!!

Apple cider vinegar soak brown paper sack in it and place it on burns.

I hope you find relief! I just got a random sunburn on my leg from Saturday! Just starting to calm down. But my whole body was in the sun, not just my leg. Why pregnant body, whhhhhyyyyyy???

You have to reapply sunscreen often regardless of SPF
