Sunburns are a common problem during the summer. They
represent a danger for your skin health, because they dehydrate the
skin, causing inflammation and damaging the surface layer of the
epidermis.
Herbal remedies against sunburn not only help relieve symptoms and discomfort, but also have a key role in skin regeneration. Here are the most effective natural methods of treating sunburns:
Aloe Vera
Aloe Vera is the plant most commonly used to treat sunburns. Extracts of it are found in the majority of pharmaceutical products recommended against this problem. It has anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants that help relieve symptoms and reduce the discomfort.
Vinegar
Vinegar, especially cider apple vinegar, is one of the most popular remedies for the treatment of sunburns. It has antiseptic properties and cools the skin. Vinegar must not be added directly to the affected area. To relieve symptoms, mix two cups of apple cider vinegar in the bathtub filled with warm water and sit in it for 10-15 minutes.
Vinegar helps if blisters were formed. Diluted with water, it will hasten their drying process.
Honey
Honey is one of the best natural treatments against sunburn, used since antiquity. Some experts say that applying honey on skin burnt areas would have more beneficial effects than creams with antibiotics. It helps you reduce the risk of infection, accelerate healing. Also pain is quickly removed.
