sun burn home remedy - #19275
I am really struggling with this nasty sunburn I got on my beach trip last weekend. I thought I put enough sunscreen on, but clearly, I didn't do a great job! My skin looks all red and painful, like it’s on fire, ugh. I’ve been trying to deal with it using cool compresses and aloe vera, but I want to know if there are any effective sun burn home remedy suggestions out there that actually work! I heard some people mention vinegar and baking soda? Sounds weird to me, but my grandma used to swear by those for all sorts of skin issues. Are those legit? Also, I read about oatmeal baths too. Would they help with the itchy feeling? I can't sleep well at night because every time I move, it hurts and the heat just radiates off my skin like a stinkin’ pizza oven. I’m worried I might make it worse by scratching or applying something that isn't good for the skin. Like, what are the best sun burn home remedy ideas? I’m hoping I can find something to cool it down and maybe speed up healing. I could use all the help I can get, cause I’m really not a fan of this whole sunburn situation!
