How does aloe vera work?

How do you make a sunburn stop hurting without using aloe vera because i tried that and it doesnt work?

  • i have a sunburn and it hurts reallly bad and i put aloe vera on and it didnt work. Is there anything i can do to make it sop and how long do you think mu sunburn will last?

  • Answer:

    Try a product called Solarcaine...available in pharmacies. It will numb the pain and help the healing process. The sunburn should be gone within a week at the most...you might be peeling though. Aloe Vera moisturizes and helps although you may not "feel" much relief. Try putting the aloe vera in the fridge first, the cold will help numb it also.

Sun burn is the same as any other burn - you'll not stop it hurting as you have damaged the skin. You can help cool it down with cold water or sooth it with the usual creams but all you can really do is wait for your skin to heal. Also, make sure you drink plenty of water to replace the fluids you've lost.

My Gramma always put a cloth that was soaked in strong tea on my back when I was a child. Now I use Lanacain spray for burns

Try vinegar. Don't use anything fat based, like certain lotions have. And it depends on how bad your sunburn is, but shouldn't last any more than a few days.

Take a cold bath or shower, and stay inside if you can. Sometimes a sunburn will last a day and sometimes a week, it depends on your skin. But just think, you'll have a lovely tan afterwards!

Use vinegar and water. Trust me I know. I get burned riding in the car! Anyways, put about 1/2 jar of vinegar in the sink with about 2 cups of water and then soak wash clothes in the vinegar mixture and lay them on you where you are burned. Pulls the heat out. P.S. you will smell like a pickle until you shower! :o)
