Beauty - Natural Sunburn Treatments That Are Effective

Natural Sunburn Treatments That Are Effective

*There are many natural sunburn treatments that really work. If you have ever had sunburn before you know that all you want is a natural treatment that really works. This article will provide you with several natural sunburn treatments that really work.

*Yogurt
This healthy snack is also an excellent way to ease sunburn and start the healing process. Remember to use yogurt that has active cultures in it. Then spread the yogurt onto the sunburn and allow it to sit for at least 20 minutes. Rinse the yogurt off of your skin with cool water. Reapply if pain persists.
Tea is a great natural sunburn treatment that works really well. Chamomile tea works best for this treatment, but any tea will work. The next step is to steep 4 tea bags in about 2 cups of water for 20 minutes. Remove tea bags and make compresses with the tea. Lay the compress on the sunburn and allow it to absorb into the skin. You can also put the tea in a spray bottle and apply generously to your skin.

*Tea Tree Oil
Tea tree oil is wonderful oil with excellent healing properties. Adding a few drops of tea tree oil to any of these natural sunburn treatments will ease your pain and increase the speed of your healing.

*Apple Cider Vinegar
You may think apple cider vinegar would be a painful method of treating n=sunburn, but this natural treatment really works. Simply mix 1 part vinegar to 1 part water and spray your skin with the mix. You can also use compresses of the vinegar water if you like. The vinegar will fix the ph level of your skin and cause the healing process to speed up.

*Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is a natural treatment for sunburn, but I recommend only using the actual leaves from the plant. Many aloe vera gels, creams, and lotions are not potent enough to actually help heal your sunburn. You must use the actual leaves if you want this natural treatment to really work. For this natural treatment, simply cut off a piece of the leaf and slice a line down the middle of one side. Pull the skin of the leaf back and rub the gel on your sunburn. As the aloe dries it will cool and heal your skin.

All of these natural sunburn treatments are good for your skin. They will moisturize, heal, and cool your sunburn naturally.
