How do you get rid of the redness from a sunburn?

Question

O.K. So I went to the pool and I got sunburned on my face. IT DOESN'T HURT AT ALL! I DON'T wan't stuff that will make the pain go down and stuff like that because it doesn't hurt. All I want is something that takes away the redness. I also don't want to break out from it.

Thanks very much!

Answer 1

Caffeine has been proven in studies to eliminate the cancerous cells caused by sunburn. My daughter has very fair skin and when she has gotten sunburn we soak a dish towel in cool coffee and lay it across her sunburn. It has amazing results and in the morning the we can't even tell she has been sunburned. I think the pharmacuetical companies don't want us to know this 'cause they can't profit from it.
