Summer Sunburn? Try One of These Natural Remedies

Oatmeal

Run that cool bath again, but this time drop in a cup of oatmeal. Then climb in and let it soothe your sore skin.

Witch Hazel

Witch hazel is an old remedy that can be especially helpful for small burned patches. Dab it on with a cotton ball to reduce inflammation and get immediate relief.

Ice Water

While it might feel good to put ice water on your burned skin, you can also help heal it from the inside by drinking some cold water.

Aloe Vera

Aloe vera has long been treasured for its healing properties. Buy some aloe vera gel, or, if you own an aloe vera plant, simply break off one of the spikes and apply the liquid inside directly to your sunburn.
