Sunburn Remedies

Just for fun and giggles, I would love to hear what you use for suntan loetion and for sunburn relief. Let me know, it would be great to see what everyone else does.

Have a wonderful day!

Great tips, Bettina. I especially love the lavender.

I don't go out in the sun very much because I have rosacea, and I also can't tolerate the direct heat very long. I do enjoy 10 minute periods of sunshine here and there, or during my walks where I do have some areas of shade along the way.

For years I have used one product when a sunburn was unavoidable. It is Noxema cleanser in the pump container. I don't use it as a cleanser but as a soothing lotion on my skin. It has cooling properties from eucalyptus and menthol, and it moisturizes too.

My daily moisturizing lotion has sunscreen in it for protection when I am out and about and will be exposed to sunshine at times.

Thank you kindly Debbie. I avoid the sun for the most part. I don't like the heat!

Cocoa Butter is great for sunburn as is my bottle of Aloe Vera. Best medicine for me is to not go out in the full sun between the hours of 10 - 3pm.

I avoid the sun during the strongest peak hours as well.

For sunburn relief, I really like the product Sunburn Drink.
