There are many sunburn remedies out there. Most of them include cool compress, moisturizer or aloe and an anti-inflammatory. Recently, a friend of mine got back from a trip to Cancun with her family. During this trip she was sunburned pretty badly (busy swimming with the dolphins). She told me how the locals had a sunburn remedy. She tried it and found that it relieved the burn and she hardly had any peeling. You will need:
¼ cup of white vinegar
¼ cup of lime juice (fresh squeezed)
1 teaspoon of salt
Combine vinegar, fresh lime juice and salt. Using soft cotton balls dip in vinegar mixture then squeeze out the excess back into the cup. Lightly, but thoroughly, apply to sunburned area. Leave on overnight. However, wash off all vinegar mixture before exposing skin to sunlight or the lime juice will cause the skin to burn and blacken in the sunlight.
