how do u stop a sunburn from stinging?

Question

plz help me

Answer 1

Use aloe vera..put it in the fridge then put it on....doesnt last long though, so u should try some stuff called solar cane its a spray..it works really well and u can find it at a local pharmacy or walmart. about $5.00. Tea bags will help u turn brown instead of being red too. just boil them then lay them on your skin. hope this helps

Answer 2

all the above ideas work well but if you do not have any of those milk will work also. I have extremely fair skin and burn within 10-15 minutes w/o sunscreen . When I get sunburned I take a small bowl of canned milk (whole milk works too) and chill it while I take a cool shower. After I get out I take the chilled milk and dab it on the burnt areas with a soft clean cloth and let it dry. It feels sticky and gross but the lactic acid in the milk draws the heat out and moisturizes the skin I rarely ever peel unless I have gotten blisters. Do not forget to take an anti inflammatory med like Motrin or Advil for the pain

Answer 3

Go to a nursury and buy pure aloe vera plant and split the leaf and put on the burn....instant relief.
U could buy the aloe gel at the grocery store .

Answer 4

This really does work. But it does stink. Pour a large bottle of vinegar in a bath tub full of warm water and soak. The vinegar will ease the sting.

Answer 5

Aloe Vera. Look for it, you might have some in your medicine cabinet. It's pretty common stuff, and it's really good for soothing sunburns.

Answer 6

Aloe Vera.

Answer 7

either use aloe gel from the drugstore or break open an aloe plant's leaves (if you have one) and squeeze the interior gellish goop from the leaves onto the sunburn.

Answer 8

okay this is stinky but it does work if you have nothing else, try vinegar, wet some paper towels with it and place it over the burned area. you could also try noxema, my mother use to use that when we got burned, smells better than vinegar ;o)


Tylenol and a cool bath with baking soda also helps!

Good Luck!

Answer 9

Noxzema. Remember that stuff in the blue tub? Its a facial cleansing product.

Answer 10

Aloe Vera. You can buy it from any store as sun burn gel.
