While this probably sounds like boring advice your grandma would give, it’ll save you a lot of trouble. In case you do get sunburned, these are some household remedies that will help for sure.
Honey
Honey is an ancient remedy, although sometimes we forget about that. Honey will reduce the pain and the risk of infection. Still, it shouldn’t be used on babies younger than 12 months.
Aloe Vera
This plant has so many healing and health properties and it’s also a lifesaver for sunburns. It’ll moisturize the skin and speed the healing process while adding a cooling effect to ease discomfort.
Baking Soda or Cornstarch
You probably have baking soda or cornstarch in your kitchen to use as first help. These two ingredients mixed with water, won’t only relieve inflammation, they’ll also help with the aching you’re probably experiencing from the sunburns.
