Hi STRBST

Quick Action Plan for Sunburn

1. Avoid sunburn by staying out of direct sunlight for one hour before and three hours after noon, or wear protective clothing and headgear.

2. Avoid sunscreens. Studies indicate that they inhibit the skin's production of vitamin D and thereby increase the incidence of skin cancer.

3. If sunburned, determine whether it is a third degree burn, which can cause severe damage, including infection. First degree burns cause redness and tenderness, second degree burns cause swelling, pain and water blisters. Third degree burns require medical attention.

4. Use hydrotherapy on the affected area, including water, ice, cold temperature and cool compresses.

5. Stay hydrated. Drink plenty of pure water, sipping throughout the day.

6. Apply any of the following frequently so that the skin will not dehydrate and can absorb what it needs to fight inflammation and regenerate healthy cells: aloe vera gel, PABA, calendula lotion, Rescue Remedy cream, lavender and chamomile spray, or a mixture of 2 parts apple cider vinegar to 1 part olive oil.

7. Supplements are helpful in healing sunburn; take vitamins A, C and E, as well as calcium, potassium and magnesium.

8. Avoid repeated over-exposure to the sun so that the sensitive skin can heal. If symptoms persist, see a health care provider.

Best of health to you

Answer 3

There's no way to get rid of a sunburn fast, since you've actually cooked your skin. However, my family has found that Noxema kept in the refrigerator helps relieve the pain and heat very nicely. Only time will heal the rest, but make-up for sensitive skin will tone down the redness somewhat.

Answer 4

I don't know of a way to make the redness go away except time, but to make it feel better, I put aloe vera gel (It can be refrigerated to cool the burn) on the sunburn.

Answer 5

take a really cold shower but don't use any soap because that dries your skin out even more. Put aloe vera on the burn that contains NO alocohol. it's best if you can get it straight from an aloe vera plant. The rest just takes time for your skin to heal. you should use lots of sunscreen when you're in the sun

Answer 6

Oh, i do this when i get burnt in a tanning bed and i make my bf do it when he gets burnt as well.

Get some aloe vera gel and smooth it on the burn, let it dry completely, then get in the shower and turn the water on as hot as you can stand.

It works soooo good. You HAVE to try it. Makes the burning go down almost instantly.

Answer 7

i agree with the aloe vera, you can go to the health food store and buy the gel, after i put it on, my sunburn turns to tan overnight..good luck..make sure you keep that cooked skin well moisturized for the next few weeks...

Answer 8

Noxzema(cream) Just spread it on it will cool the sunburn right away It's great I know you'll love it
