Sunburn: 5 Low Cost Ways to Soothe the Sting

Sunburn: 5 Low Cost Ways to Soothe the Sting: We’ve all experienced a bad sunburn at some point in our lives. Symptoms can range from red-hot skin that is tender or painful to touch, to nausea, dehydration, blistering, and skin flaking or peeling, whether experienced directly or by a close family member or acquaintance.

As anyone who has had a serious sunburn can attest, the amount of effort spent generating the sunburn is vastly disproportionate to the amount of time spent suffering from its repercussions. In this way, and depending on how bad the burn is, pain and discomfort can last for a few days as the body tries to heal and recover from being exposed to UV rays without protection.

Unless your symptoms are severe (in which case you should seek medical help), here are five simple home treatments that will help you relieve the sting and pain of sunburn:

1. Cool baths: Soaking in a cool *bath is one of the most effective ways to remove heat from the skin and relieve sunburn pain and suffering. (Avoid the word “cold,” as it can put the body into shock.) Here are some items to add to your bath to help you relax even more:

a. Fill the bath with 10 drops of essential oil (chamomile or lavender). Soak for 15 minutes, or until you feel relieved.

b. A lukewarm bath with baking soda (or oatmeal) can also help ease sunburn pain. Make sure that all of the afflicted areas are submerged for the optimum results. Using your hands or a soft washcloth, pour bath water over your body. Burned facial areas can be wiped gently with the cloth, or you can splash water straight on your face. After soaking, wipe the skin dry gently with a soft cloth (preferably cotton). Allow the light layer of oats that clings to your skin to stay if you’ve had an oatmeal bath.

Adding vinegar to your bath water will assist in relieving sunburn pain.

2. Rubbing alcohol: Because rubbing alcohol evaporates quickly, putting it on sunburned skin will quickly cool it and relieve the pain.

3. Vinegar: Vinegar is an efficient and refreshing way to cure sunburn. To use it, soak clothes in it and apply it to burned areas. Fill a spray bottle with the mixture and spray it directly on the skin as needed.

4. Egg Whites: If your burn is extremely hot, separating the white from the yolk of an egg and then spreading the white over the damaged region will assist in rapidly cooling the burn. This can be done as many times as necessary.

5. Potatoes: Potatoes can also be used to soothe sunburn pain. 2 potatoes, thoroughly cleaned. Cut them into small pieces and liquefy them in a blender. (Add extra water if the product appears too dry.) Apply potato juice to the afflicted regions. Allow to dry completely before rinsing in a cool shower or bath.

Remember that, in addition to producing various degrees of discomfort and anguish, sunburn accelerates the ageing process and increases the risk of cataracts and skin cancer. As a result, prevention should always be considered superior to therapy!

These are merely home remedy suggestions and should not be used in place of professional medical advice. If you have any concerns about your sunburn, please get medical help as soon as possible.
