How to Ease Sunburn



We all know the importance of sunscreen, but even in the best of times we find ourselves coming up short, and turning up burnt. We all know that this can be extremely painful. But before you head to the store, you can just turn to your kitchen cupboards for some quick and cooling relief.







Things You'll Need:





Vinegar




Talcum Powder/Baby Powder




Baking Soda









1


White Vinegar

Fill a spray bottle with white vinegar, and spritz the area of the burn.

Or dampen a soft cloth with pure white vinegar and gently sponge the effected area.

Instantly you will feel the sting begin to ease. Use as often as necessary to stop the pain.





2


Talcum Powder/Baby Powder

Apply a thin cool dusting to the surface of the skin, you will feel the effects immediately.

Perfect for sunburn in the areas that receive friction from clothing.





3


Baking Soda

Fill a bathtub with warm water and add a half a cup of baking soda to the water. Then relax in the cooling water for at least thirty minutes. The baking soda will help draw out some of the heat of the burn.

This is perfect before bed after a serious burn.
