Looking for Sun Burn Relief

RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By Ann (Guest Post) I am from Australia, the land of sunburn and one of the best remedies I've found is emu oil which generally comes in the form of a moisturizing cream with vitamin E, admittedly this may be hard to find especially outside Australia. but it works like a charm. Caution though: do not use on severe sunburn as some creams may lock in heat, need to get a good brand to prevent this.

Sometimes your body can feel stiff and almost plastic after a sever sunburn the Aquaphor will change that. I speak from prior experiences.

Everyone knows to "cover up", but you can still get burnt. Sun burn pain is insane. But as to remedies baking soda kills the burn, and starts the itch which means healing, but can be even worse than the burn. Aloe helps like everyone says, but it can also make it worse if its in its pre peeling stages. Milk is great topically but dose not last long. Vinegar HURTS. And get lots of water and just push on through it!

Posted on 06/09/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By (Guest Post) Last summer I got a horrible sun burn while at the beach. For over a week a was in a lot of pain, so I tried nearly everything I read on the internet; powdered milk, aloe vera, vinegar bath ect.. and the one thing that truly worked for me, was tea. I made a big batch of tea, let it cool, and then applied it to my skin using toilet paper (you can also use a spray bottle). It's messy and takes some time, but trust me it's worth it! Posted on 06/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By John (Guest Post) Tried vinegar and lemon juice. Worse! Hot shower? I don't like the sound of that. Sounds like a sick joke if you ask me. Posted on 06/08/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By (Guest Post) To all you people saying, "Don't get burned in the first place," please stop. That's not a productive answer. Everyone knows sunblock exists; you are not contributing new information. If someone is burned, they probably didn't do it on purpose and are searching for relief. Hearing, "The best thing is to not get burned!" while true, is just maddening. Posted on 05/29/2008 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By (Guest Post) DO NOT use Noxema!

Use sunscreen containing mexoryl. Google it. For pain, use Solarcaine. It's a topical anaesthetic. Wear protective clothing and stay out of the sun from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cover your left arm when you drive. I lived at the beach in Southern California for many years. This is how you do it.

Posted on 07/21/2007 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By Common Sense (Guest Post) The sun is good for you. If you blindly believe that the sun causes cancer you could do well to do some real research, the nasty synthetic sunblock people use is what causes damage. There are safe sunblock lotions out there, Earth's Best is one of my favorites, or Natural Sun. I am actually burnt from the river today since I didn't want to put any sunblock on my back, Check out these things you can do to help- Get your pH level alkaline, use google to figure out how to do this. You can take a supplement called Cellfood, or Cellfood Silica Formula- its an amazing product that helps your body recover insanely fast. It is completely safe and natural. Drink some Apple Cider Vinegar or spray it topically on the burns, it is great for your pH and contains important enzymes that your body loves. Soon people will realize how modern western medicine just doesn't work compared to eating healthy, and its really easy. Humans have been alive for thousands of years- our bodies are DESIGNED to be amazing repair machines, we get the power to do that from what we eat, this is something that people have to research for themselves, and try it. Everything about your life will improve- energy, mentality, senses, coordination, sex, the sky is the limit. Please- research this stuff. I used to have sleep, weight, acne, sex, fatigue, emotional problems until I realized I deserve better. Be honest and open, question authority and modern medicine and you will discover the rewards of taking the initiative.

Look for after-sun products with quality ingredients and avoid those with alcohol as this will only aggravate your sun burn. While vinegar will initially stop the sting of a burn (this is an old flight attendant secret) it will not help your skin recover from the damage.

It leaves a white film on the skin, but the next day your skin is definitely not as red and sore. My new favorite remedy is to rub my skin with...are you ready for this? Preparation H creme. Yes, the same stuff used for hemorroids. It really really works! It it will take most of the sting away overnight. Taking 2 Ibuprofen also helps take the pain away.

To bring out the burn, rub tomatoes over the burn. It may sound odd but I was given this remedy from a red haired guy in Lanzarote working in the sun and it really does work. You may use alot of tomatoes but the acid in them draws out the heat.

Contact There was a question on Google Answers about using hot water for sunburns. Here's a quote from that page: "The consensus of the experts is that hot water not only adds more heat to heat-injured skin tissues, but also encourages oils to leach out of the skin, which means that it is more drying to the skin than cool water and therefore more likely to encourage peeling. In my opinion, this sounds a sufficiently convincing argument against the use of hot baths to treat sunburn."

But I'd been advised to pour Apple Cider Vinegar in your cool bath water and soaking in it. Best of Luck! Posted on 06/25/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By (Guest Post) Cover up and don't get burned is the best remedy! If you are going to be out in the sun for more then 10 minutes cover up with light cotton clothes, a wide brimmed hat and/or high protection factor sunscreen, (children's is usually higher but it will be on the label). Sorry to sound bossy but every time you get burnt your skin is damaged so if you don't want to get skin cancer, or grow prematurely old and wrinkly, cover up!

Posted on 06/22/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By Tawnda (Guest Post) My mother used to (actually, still does) keep a water bottle on hand just for sunburned skin. She would mix 1/2 water and 1/2 vinegar. When she would work in the yard, she would spray herself throughout the time she was out there because it kept the deer flies from biting so much and it hydrated her skin. At night after she would shower she would spray her sunburned skin. It tended not to blister or peel as badly. Posted on 06/21/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By Nancy (Guest Post) We use vinegar when someone in the family gets a bad sunburn. It takes the heat away and if you get it in time it usually does not blister. Just dab it on don't rub it. Nan in Northwest Ia Posted on 06/21/2004 | Report Spam or Abuse RE: Looking for Sun Burn Relief By M.B.Wright (Guest Post) Old time farm way- evaporated canned milk.
