    Sun Burn Relief Remedies?

    I got a little torched today on the 1st grade field trip at the state park...

    So I'm sitting here slathered in Noxema. After I rinse, I'll spritz with some lavender and calendula infused witch hazel.


    What do you do when you get solar crispied?


    (and yes, I used sunscreen AND reapplied, after all, prevention IS the best medicine...but the vitiligo just doesn't care)

    Spray on some unfiltered ACV (Apple cider vinegar) works great or Chilled milk compresses. Drink lots of water

      Have you tried the aloe vera gel? If you don't have an actual plant, you can pick up the real thing like at a vitamin shop or even CVS. It's great when it's cold too.

      Gawd, Noxema. That takes me back. My mom would put a tub of that in the fridge before we left for the beach and I got cooked like a lobster. That stuff sizzled on me.

        It was a paste made of bicarbonate of soda for all burns when I was young. Or just cold water.

          I use aloe vera lotion or gel on it. But usually cool it off with cold water first. Just keeping a wet towel or something on it for a while can help too.

            Aloe is more of a second day thing for me. I keep chunks of my plant in the freezer...
