Bright red skin is a dead give away for those who were in the sun too long. Sunburns are a painful result of too much fun in the sun without adequate preventative protection measures. Painful, red and inflamed skin can last for days and can make life pretty uncomfortable. Prevention is the best cure of all, but if that fails, tries these cures to soothe painful sunburn.
Sunburn occurs when the skin is overly exposed to ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It is better to prevent than to treat sunburn because of its harmful and painful symptoms, which include blistering, peeling, redness and inflammation of the skin. Home remedies to treat sunburn are an inexpensive and natural way to alleviate the pain and reduce your recovery time.
The best thing to do is to prevent it from happening in the first place by using an SPF lotion and avoiding midday sun. If you should happen to get sunburn, treat it as soon as you can, and avoid further exposure to the sun until your sunburn has healed. The good news is that natural home remedies have been found to be very effective in treating sunburn. Here are some ways to use natural home remedies for sunburn.
Home Remedies for a Sunburned Face
Cool It Down: -
• Cooling the skin can help relieve the pain associated with sunburn. Apply an ice pack to your face, keeping the ice pack in one area for five to 10 minutes. Homemade ice packs can be made by using frozen vegetable packages or by putting ice into a realizable plastic bag and covering the bag with a washcloth.
• Cool baths and compresses can also reduce sunburn pain. Compresses can be made by running a washcloth under cool water, wringing it out and applying it to the face. Milk can be used in place of water. Milk helps sunburned skin by providing a protein film that soothes the skin. If your lips or eyelids have been burned, a cool, wet tea bag can be soothing.
Remove the Sting
• A coating of vinegar applied to your skin may help remove the sting of a sunburned face. Pour a small amount of vinegar to a cotton ball or washcloth and apply it to your face as often as necessary. Make sure that you avoid getting the vinegar in your eyes. Witch hazel can also be used if vinegar is not available.
• Applying cucumber or apple slices can help reduce painful sunburn symptoms. Adding baking soda to bath water is a traditional method to soothe skin irritations. While baking soda bath may not be practical to treat a sunburned face, you can still take advantage of the soothing properties of baking soda by applying a baking soda paste to your face.
Oils for Sunburn
• Lavender oil is a natural healer for sunburn when applied to the skin immediately after the burn has occurred. Coconut oils are gentle on the skin--it is also helpful to use coconut oil before going into the sun. To help smoothen and lighten the skin after sunburn you can mix honey with lime juice.
• Cucumbers and vitamin E oil will help reduce any itching and irritation associated with your sunburn. If you are experiencing sunburn it is important to stay hydrated and drink as much water as possible so that your body can begin its natural healing process.
