How to get the redness from sunburn fast?

How do you get rid of sunburn pain and redness?

  • i went tanning (i know please dont hurt me) and i got the worst sunburn. help! aloe is working kind of. anything else? home remedies?

  • Answer:

    they're right, vinegar will take the sting out. just pour it on. cooked oats (NOT hot) will help reduce the swelling and make it feel a LOT better. just cold wet towels, keep replacing them 'til there's no heat left in your legs. also, at any cvs or drugstore you can get WitchHazel (near rubbing alcohol) and apparently that works wonders

you can use after sun lotions, or else go for a cold bath. keep damping your body with a cool damp face cloth. do not rub the skin, just patt it (like when your wiping your face) wear light fitted clothing. be sure not to infect the sunburns, so avoid dirt, or dust. always use a clean towel or face cloth. when you take a bath, use alcohol free soap, so not to irretate the skin. before you sleep try applying some baby oil or any other creams that contain Vitamin E. (bodyshop and other outlets might have) hope you enjoy your tan. :P tc

I live in a sunny country and I got sunburned a lot of times, usually keep the area moist , and you can apply one of these after sun lotions as well. I know the burn will " burn" for aa couple of days but then the old skinn will start to shed off by it self as part of the healing process

Find the aloe with lidocaine in it, and keep applying. Keep the bottle in the fridge for an even cooler feeling

haha the ssame thing always happens to me and i still go tanning all the time but if u do get burned use aloe vera lotion stuff . If ur skin starts to peel then use some Eucerin lotion because its deffinatly the best . but if u get burned more than 3 times then you should stop going tanning because you will be at a reallllyyy high risk for skin cancer
