sun burn relief
 

whats your best remedy? :Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap:Oh crap

aloe of course. but cucumbers have been used since roman times. soothes cools and restores.

have to be using the sun block man... that shit does damage.

vinegar? :)


j/k of course.

Time... :pimp

yogurt :D and wet stuff on it :D

i didnt even think about it :( i was out doing yard work for about an hour and then my kid wanted me to swim with her so that another another hour and when i came in my back was a tomato lol

glad i had a hat on most of the time or my face would be crispy ;x

you wee im not joking works better than any cream

kephir/sour cream applied on skin, or a tepid bath

semen

-----

+1 for Aloe, that shit works.

thick yoghurt or kefir

Solarcaine spray.

Tippex .

works great... the worst part I hate is once it starts itching

Your semen or just any semen?

Yogurt works too.

Solarecaine by far is the best remedy. Very addictive though. Once you spray it on and the itch stops you feel great. About an hour later, it might start to itch again, and you crave the spray.

Def worth it though! You can find it at pretty much any store that sells sun tan lotion and things of that nature.

My Grand Mom, had an old remedy for severe sun burns, she used to slice raw potatoes about a 1/4" think and spread miracle whip on the sunburned area (Generous amount) and then pressed the potatoes into the miracle whip.

The vinegar and potatoes would remove the heat and the oils from the Mayo would moisten the skin preventing peeling. The potatoes actually turn the color of a bruised or black spot you see on a bad potato.

Sounds gross, but it does work ;)

Paxum ...

Vinegar is supposed to take the sting out. Otherwise just lather yourself in aloe and pray for relief.

Spend more time in the sun.

I'm part ginger and the sun killed me when I moved here. Now I'm used to it.

Put some aloe on it and once it turns into a tan in a few days just keep it going and you probably won't burn for the rest of the year.

cucumber, yoghurt or aloe, one of the three will do just fine.

next time stay out of the sun, that thing will cook ya alive...

Amputation is the only answer

Cover you body in baby oil and stand outside under the sun for 2 hours. The baby oil helps reflect your sun burn back to sun.

both moisturizer and ice help with itching.

Aloe, aspirin, wash cloth soaked in tea.

No chance of any sunburn here this year so far. Still raining most days.

Just as well probably for me. I've been burned many times. Last time i had sun stroke i was tripping balls, lol...

Aloe a shit load of water and some asperin and a good siesta.

Aloe or Noxema. I typically go the Noxema route for a day or so and it cools the burn, and has it peeling off in no time. It stinks to high hell, but if I am sun burned that is the least of my concerns.

gunna pick up some solarcane spray, 7 hours on the beach did me dirty

I just tough it out. I have some minor nerve damage in my neck (semi-permanent burner) so my back/shoulders feel sun burnt all the time anyway.

A fan on you 24/7 til the pain goes away. it's about the only thing I have found that ever provided any relief.

Toothpaste as first aid, it can also be used on minor burns.

Call me an optimist, but...

The best thing to relieve sunburn is sliced tomato.

Sounds crazy but you slice that shit up and get the slices and the juice happening all on the sunburn and it actually is very soothing.

Stay out of the Sun, obviously.

:2 cents: and weed!

That would provide relief too actually lol The cool moisturizing fog on your naked body may do wonders!

My simple 5 step remedy that works wonders for sun burns:

Step 1) Grab barbed wire, scratch burned area. This allows products to soak in and alleviate the pain.

Step 2) Grab a bottle of rubbing alcohol, pour entire bottle onto skin.

Step 3) Grab salt, and pat into burned area

Step 4) To rid the burning sensation, pick up dry ice and fill your bathtub with it. Soak in the dry ice for 30-45 minutes

Step 5) Venture into the desert in search of an aloe vera plant:

Machete off one of the leaves, and apply the goo inside to burned area.

Tons of aloe right from the fresh leaves.

Calamine Lotion is wiyhout doubt the best. Relieves the burn, calms the itch. If you are seriously burnt, I found the spray on lotions painful to apply and you had to use them regularly, the Gels are awful, if you have hair at the burnt area, the gels stick them together and its a nightmare when you move.
Calamine lotion has none of those drawbacks and the relief is instant, plus it lasts longer than the other stuff. Would nevere use anything else.

emu oil, and you can also try rose hip seed oil mixed with Helichrysum Essential Oil sourced from Corsica
