This summer, the sun will be stronger than ever. So if you find yourself sporting sunburn skin this season, here are some quick tips and tricks to treat it.
Raid your pantry for this sunburn remedy — which sounds good enough to eat!
Add 1 cup of instant oatmeal, 1 cup whole milk, 2 tablespoons honey, and 2 tablespoons aloe vera gel to a lukewarm-to-room temperature bath (hot water will send you screaming with pain, so avoid it!) and soak in it.
The anti-inflammatory effects of the oatmeal mixed with honey’s antiseptic abilities, the soothing power of milk, and pain-fighting aloe create a magically delicious DIY treatment.
Regular brewed cold black tea (its tannins treat pain) or milk also work to soothe skin. Simply keep these liquids refrigerated in a spray bottle and spritz as needed. And for blistering skin, mix up a saline solution by boiling eight cups of water for five minutes, then add a teaspoon of salt. Let it cool completely before applying to your skin with a compress.
