Best remedy? Don’t say “sunscreen” lol I know I’m stubborn.

Question

Recently I went to the beach and I got toasted. My boyfriend rubbed aloe on me and it helped a little, but felt like I was getting stabbed. It only helped when it was still wet and I was in front of the fan. I’ve read so many different solutions and I’m trying to find out which one you prefer. I tried finding menthol shaving cream but I couldn’t get it in stores, I have to order it. My next option is listerine mouthwash. Also comment if there’s anything different you’ve tried that helps!! Thank you ladies! My poor back needs it 😭

Answer

I can’t imagine putting all of those chemicals on your sunburnt skin is going to be any good. I would say treat it with aloe Vera or solaze or something specifically created to sooth burnt skin. 
I’m sure there will be plenty of chemicals in those other products that could do more harm than good.

Answer

Aloe Vera with lidocaine in it will work numbers! It’s usually labeled as “cooling” on the bottle.

Answer

BurnJel. I got it at CVS. Put it on and my sunburn was gone the next day!!

Answer

My daughter and her bff just got super burnt and they after they used the aloe with lidocaine she said it didn’t touch the burning feeling so we tried home remodeled and the apple cider vinegar helped the most with the sting of the burn

Answer

I know you say “don’t say sunscreen” but if you burn like that, always wear sunscreen! I used to never wear it and burn badly. But aloe Vera should help, stick with that.

Answer

Men’s shaving foam is supposed to work not sure if it does or not but worth a try

Answer

I learned a trick from my grandma. You take noxzema face wash and rub it on your skin and pretty much just let it dry on the sun burn. You don’t need to pile it on but it’ll last longer on your skin if you do. It helps with me 🤷🏻‍♀️ maybe it’ll help with you. You could also try a mix of water and peppermint essential oil in a spray bottle and spray it on your sunburn. It won’t cure it but it’ll help the burn

Answer

Aloe gel feels great on my skin after a burn. The only thing is you have to apply it kind of often. Be careful out there. I have permanent scarring from sunburn like that.

Answer

I use night cream!! And then get someone to rub my back really hard. It hurts like a bitch when they do it but it helps with the tention of the the skin but meh maybe I’m weird

Answer

My husband gets bad sunburns on his back and I cover them with ice cold cloths changing them as they get warm and then just aloe and a regular moisturizer. The cloths let the heat out a bit I usually find he’s less red afterward.
