Remedy for Sun Burn
Okay so I went to a tanning bed and with no bathing suit or anything...just for 10 mins and got a pretty bad sunburn....all bikini areas were no longer white but are very red. It was very pain full and i looked on all these sites to find something to ease the pain....I have no money so I went in my fridge in my dorm room and this is what I use...

~Milk
~Sour Cream
~Muster
~Mayo

In that order and just covered all areas and than let it dry complety. Than took a lukewarm shower...long one to and the pain has gone down a lot and my skin is very very soft....weird I know but it work and if your low on money you should try it....

cut a peice of aloe vera off the plant - if you have one - then slice finely down the centre of the stork and fold each side back, then rub the stork against affected areas.

Vinegar(wet a towel with it, then spread it over affected area), Mustard, anything with vinegar in it, trust me, im redheaded. This not only helps the pain and stinging, but it helps prevent the skin from peeling

P.S. I would recommend taking a shower after a lather of mustard or Vinegar or else you will not be like by near by friends.

I swear by a vinegar bath. I have been taking them ever since I was a teenager for sunburns and it has worked every time. Plus it also helps to keep you from peeling which is also great.

I am DEATHLY allergic to aloe vera, so I cannot use it, but I hear it works wonders. I use cocoa butter and it works well too, but you have to make sure you get the more expensive stuff that is actually cocoa butter, not the lotion with the cocoa butter in it. I tried the cheap lotion stuff before because I was short on cash and it did nothing.
Also, the vinegar thing works too for all types of burns. I learned this from my grandma (who was a nurse) and my brother also heard this in EMT training. If you have no vinegar, regular mustard works too.

Well I currently have the worst sun burn ever! I usually can lay out in the sun for a while and never even get burned but I called my husbands gmaw and she said just to apply egg white to the affected area and sleep and the burn should go away. My husband did that a year ago and he said he woke up fine so I cant' wait until the morning!
#7 - Ashley - 04/24/2009 - 23:54

should check the Mayo clinic advise cool compresses, keep moist with lotion(aloe), also apply hydrocortizone cream, take motrin or advil etc. these are anti inflammatories unlike tylenol. do not break blisters!

All I did was waited it out. No lotion, No remedies. Just waited a few days and its peeling of coarse but i\'ll live. If ya cant handle the pain and annoyance of the after effects of bein in the sun then stay in the shade lol.

As a Skin Care Specialist in Florida, I have seen quite a few burned bodies. Aloe is always a nice soother, although, it has to be reapplied many times til the burn "dies down". I like to try home remedies on myself all the time, looking for ways to treat acne, scars, and burns. My sister burned her back really badly last year, and so this is the mask I made for her to put on her back: Once cup plain yogurt, 3 capsules of vitamin E oil punctured and put in yogurt, and 1 1/2 tablespoons pure aloe. I had her lay on her stomach, and I put the mixture on her back (if its cool, make sure it isn't too cool. its not good if you are really burnt up to go from hot to cold too quickly) then we left it on there for about 40 minutes. After that, I recommended she keep putting aloe on it til the next morning. The next morning she told me it wasn't really burnt anymore. and she never ended up peeling!
Obviously though, if you are burnt to the point of getting bubbles of little boils on your skin, you need to seek out medical [@]istance.

use instant potatoes and make a paste solution use a generous amount to apply to burned areas then seal with butterscotch syrup and wrap yourself in white linen, sleep for 8-12hours then soak in luke warm bath for at least 3 hours, finally drink remaining bathwater!!!

USE SHAVING CREAM. WORKS WONDERS.
I just got home from kayaking and got really bad sunburn and put shaving cream on it (any kind works but kind with aloe is the best) and it instantly takes away the burn. Hope it works for you.

i am burnt completely up!!!! i have tried everything and I am here to tell you all that nothing works on a really bad sun burn. however i did call my vetinarian and wasnt surprised that she has silvadene cream in her office and it was 12 dollars and it is made especially for burns and it took out the pain. you guys are crazy not to do that. i am not wearing mustard and other crap when i canm get a prescription stregnth medication made for burns for just dollars and it works.>-(

Chocalote frosting... Just smooth it all over the burn... Instantly takes out the itch and leaves you feeling soft and smooth.... If your burn is on your arms, or legs you can also lick it off for an afternoon treat! I thought this was bogus at first but after trying it this afternoon I am convinced! Nothing has ever worked better!!
...My mother told me about this remedy. Mothers really do know everything!

Spray starch, spray & spray again & again if necessary. It takes the sting out, turns the burn into a tan and you don't peel. It's also very CHEAP & EASY to use.
