Sun is our natural source of light and Vitamin D. In Indian culture we worship sun as our God and worship him in the mornings. Sun rays are necessary for our body but to some extent only. If our skin is exposed to sun for long we get tanned and sometimes we may also encounter rashes and sun burn.
These sun burns are stubborn enough not to leave you easily and make you look extremely tanned and patchy. There are many expensive and branded products available in the market which may help you get rid of the sun burn.
But, there are many natural and safe elements in our vicinity which can be used as home remedy for sun burn. Below, I will try to make you aware about the best tested and effective home remedies for sun burn.
Different Types Of Home Remedies For Sun Burn
Vinegar And Milk
Both the elements work tremendously well in the case of sun burn. You need to take a warm bath and then pat dry your skin. Take a cotton ball and apply vinegar on the sun burn areas.
Keep it for 2 to 4 minutes and then apply cold raw milk on the affected areas. Let it stay for about 10 minutes and then rinse it off properly with cold water. This will give you an instant relief from the burning sensation.
You need to do it twice a day so that you overcome the red spots in a week. This is a 100% effective home remedy for sun burn. Do not do this more than twice a day.
Yogurt
Yogurt is one of the most effective and rapid relievers in case of the bad sun burns. Once you encounter the sunburns, you should avoid exposure to the sun and return home immediately. After that you need to take a bath and pat your skin dry.
Take a generous amount of pure yogurt in your palm and apply in on the sun burns. You need to gently message the yogurt into the skin. You may also apply yogurt on the whole body to remove the tan and moisturize your body.
You can do this for few weeks regularly at the time of bath to get rid of the sun burn. However, the burning sensation stops with the first application itself.
