DIY Sunburn Healing

You spent all day in the sun, but even though you applied sunscreen multiple times, you STILL got bloody sunburned! I hate when that happens! It happens to me a lot. Haha.

 

I am going to tell you about 2 Sunburn healing tips, that should help remedy your sunburn, or at least help it to not hurt as much!

 

The first one is making Aloe Vera Ice Cubes

Take 100% aloe vera gel and an ice cube tray and freeze. Aloe vera gel feels amazing on your skin when you have a sunburn anyways, but by freezing it, you get that extra cooling, which is AMAZING since its been so bloody hot!

 

The second is Black Tea.

  1. 2 to 4 black tea bags

  2. 3 or 4 cups boiling water

  3. 1 glass jar or bowl


4. Washcloth

 

The tannic acid found in black tea actually draws heat away from the skin and cools it off. Boil a big pot of water and steep the black tea for 10 minutes. Transfer your tea to a glass jar and let it cool down naturally or with ice cubes. When it's completely cool, apply it on burned skin with a small wash cloth on a regular basis.

 

 

I hope these two remedies help you out the next time you get a sunburn!
