  1. scientific studies show that caffeine eliminate risks of cancer caused by damage to the skin caused by the sun. my daughter has very fair skin and has been badly burned about 3 times. we put dish towels soaked in cool coffee on the burned parts of her body left it for about 20 minutes or so. amazingly when she woke up in the morning the burn was completely gone all 3 times we tried it. it is a very well kept secret because i think the pharmaceutical companies haven't figured out to make money off of it yet.


  2. Turn baking soda into a paste with water and smooth on the burn.

    Butter actually soothes a burn.

    Aloe Vera Plants contain a laminate for burns

    Cool compress (washcloth)

    Lotion (lightly applied - not completely rubbed into skin)

  3. using a cottonball apply milk or vinegar--vinegar is smelly, but it does work.  You can also use noxema original face cream--it cools and tingles on your skin.  Also, Aloe vera gel works great and put anything you use in the fridge--it feels way better going on!  Good Luck!

  4. Brew tea and then blot it on the sunburn.  The tannic acid will calm the fire.  I guess I don't have to tell you to let it cool first.................

  5. Ahh, the sun's wrath.

    The most obvious cure for a sunburn is applying aloe vera t least twice a day to affected area.

    Another thing you can do is get some gauze and dip it into milk. Wrap the gauze around your sunburn and leave it on until the gauze is dry.

    Sliced pieces of raw cucumber and potatoe rubbed against sunburn reduce inflammation

    2 tablespoons of honey mixed with lime juice will help

    To remove the tanning from the burn, use two cold tea bags and rub them on the affected area.

    Hope this helped!

  6. White vinegar, as long as the skin is not broken, Just stand in the shower, pour on shoulders, rub to cover burned areas, same with other burned areas, leave it on til you feel the heat leave, then run  cool water and use a very light, soft soapy cloth, remove vinegar from skin, rinse with cool water, pat dry, or ....1/2 milk and 1/2 water, soak soft cloths in it, and don't wring out completely, apply to burned area, just lay it on there for about a 1/2 hr. soft soapy cloth to rinse of milk smell.

    I have personally used tea, on my abdomenal burn....bad stain...hard time getting rid of it.

  7. Apple cider vinegar, aloe vera

  8. hmmm, im not sure if this will work for u, but i use it wen im out of sunburn soothing creams, try spreading some vaseline on the burn, and sometimes, spreading plain yogurt on the burn may sooth it

  9. Aloe Vera

  10. In color therapy, turquoise color is used for the treatment of sunburned skin. It vigourizes the skin fiber and is the best remedy for sunburned as well as for itching skin.

    Put turquoise rays on the affected area using any light emitting source. Your computer monitor can also be used for this purpose by setting the colour of the desktop to turquoise replacing any desktop wallpaper.

  11. Put vinegar in your bath water or pour vinegar directly on the burned areas.  Also, if you have an aloe vera plant, you can break off and squeeze the aloe right onto the burn.  Vinegar is probably your best bet.  Good luck.
