How to get rid of sunburn?

Two-toned skin result of sunburn, any ideas how to get rid of it?

  • Two or three weeks ago, I got sunburn on my face. Only some of my skin got sunburn and the other is just tanned. The portions that got sunburn peeled already and now there is a HUGE contrast between the tanned skin and the once-burned. How am I to get rid of this? Preferably, within a week's time... thank you!

  • Answer:

    why not put sunscreen on the tanned bits, then go out in the sun, without any sunscreen on the none tanned bits. I know it sounds dumb, but hey won't know till you try. I have dark skin, when I get bits that are darker than others, I just tan naked. solves the problem. good luck I hope it goes well. :)

i found this link immensely useful,pls try this.................. http://www.free-makeup-tips.com/home-remedies/sunburn-remedies.htm u may also try these; Vinegar Vinegar is one of those amazing products no household should be without. In addition to being useful in cooking and cleaning, it also has medicinal properties. It should be no surprise that vinegar is one of the most wonderful natural sunburn remedies. Simply soak a t-shirt or towels in vinegar and place it directly onto the skin. The vinegar will help to soothe the sunburn and alleviate the sting. Tea The tannins in tea work wonders on a sunburn. You can go about it a couple of different ways. The first is to wet a tea bag (or tea bags) and place it on the sunburned area. The second is to fill a bathtub with cool or lukewarm water and throw a bunch of tea bags in. Soaking in a relaxing, soothing tea bath is another way to alleviate the sting. Your third option is to boil up a big old pot of tea. Once all the tea is steeped, take out the bags and add some ice cubes until the water temperature is tolerable. Soak a towel in the tea (it will stain) and place it over the sun burned area. Cold Milk A glass of cold milk isn't only the perfect companion for a slice of chocolate cake; it's also a soothing natural sunburn remedy. It's actually the fat in the milk that's soothing, so it's best not to use skim. Simply soak some large pieces of gauze in milk and lay over the sunburned area. It will feel cool and soothing the second it's applied. If you'd like, you can repeat this process every thirty minutes or so. When you're done soaking your skin, take a nice cool shower. If you leave the milk on your skin, especially if it's really hot outside, it will just turn rancid. No one wants to smell that bad. Aloe Vera: Most Popular Natural Sunburn Remedy Most people know this by now, but aloe vera works wonders on burns, including sunburns. Your best bet is to use the plant itself and not an ointment or a cream. Break open a leaf and rub the plant's natural oils on your skin. Not only is it soothing, but it's also healing. Baking Soda Pour a cup of baking soda into a lukewarm bath, pick up your favorite paperback and have yourself a nice 30 minute soak. Soon the sting and swelling will be a distant memory.
