Sunburns: How to Deal

Use Aloe Vera

It’s always a good idea to keep a supply of sunscreen at home, but many people don’t think to buy aloe vera too. After you let your skin cool down from the sunburn, generously apply some cooling aloe vera gel to the affected area. Avoid heavy creams, moisturizers and ointments like petroleum jelly, shea butter and other oily products, as these treatments may clog the pores and worsen the sunburn.
