I got a sunburn on my face... how can I reduce redness?

Try some of that cooling aloe vera stuff.It takes a few days to reduce redness but refrain from using makeup until it's gone.and use sunscreen next time!

nxt time put sunblock spf 30 & above :D needs: a bowl full of cold milk a dry clean & smooth towel 1. gently put your face inside the bowl with milk 2. just do #1 for 5 seconds every time okay (you can rest) 3. after that wet your face with cold water 4. then just dry your face gently with the towel this is just my own remedies to reduce pain when having sunburns on my face... it reduces not take away... i also took the liberty of showing you this part of wikipedia article: sunburn -treatment Topical applications The pain and burning associated with a sunburn can be relieved with a number of different remedies applied to the burn site. The skin can be hydrated by applying topical products containing Aloe vera and/or vitamin E, which reduce inflammation. Hydrocortisone cream may also help reduce inflammation and itching.[35] Avoid the use of petroleum jelly, benzocaine, lidocaine, and butter; these are false remedies which can prevent healing, damage skin, but relieve pain.[35] When treating open sores caused by a sunburn, like any other open skin wound, it is best to avoid lotions or other directly-applied ointments. However, antibacterial solutions and gauze can prevent skin infections. There are two home remedies which have been known to help. One method involves applying a clean washcloth soaked with cool (not cold) milk like a cold compress. In addition to the cool temperature, a protein film will form to soothe the pain and the lactic acid will help reduce inflammation.[36] A dilute solution of white cider vinegar (approx. 1 cup in a tub of water) applied in a similar fashion may also ease pain hope this helps

Ice or cold cloth will take some of the pain out momentarily ~ but the Aloevera gel is the best alternative for the healing

as everyone one said, lots of aloe and lotion. I would apply a few times a day. when my burnt my face i didn;t care so much about th redness but was mortified when it started peeling so badly. I have found though that if you put LOTS of lotion on from the beginning it greatly reduces the peeling

for a sunburn, your friends are right about aloe vera and aveeno baby lotion. ( i never use aveeno so i cant say aloe vera is better) but if you put on some aloe vera every day it should go away. after the aloe vera "dries" or w/e you call it, you could try putting on some natural makeup, but be careful of what makeup you use - if youre not careful it could hurt it more.

My wife is an esthishion (probably misspelled) anyways go to a spa place and get some face lotion from them. Aloe vera will clog your pores, alot of lotions will too. I cant remember the name of the stuff, but it took my redness and pain away pretty fast

pure coco butter

put some aloe on it

Lubriderm!
