Your kitchen is the clinic for sunburn

Its time you take care of your sunburn. Do it on your own. Work through your kitchen shelf as the following spectacular recipes can actually minimize and heal the damage done. There are home remedies for such burns, however, we would recommend a doctors opinion in case of severe sunburn which might lead to clinical issues. The following remedies are quite simple and can be easily used.

Your friend cucumber
Acknowledged as having a very cooling effect on your body, cucumber works really well on your skin as well. The cucumber gel cools your skin and prevents further damage through sunburn. As soon as you get a sunburn the best way to treat is a cucumber lotion. How to make it? Quite easy. Chop one whole cucumber. Keep one-fourth cup of glycerin and one-fourth cup of rose water ready. After you chop the cucumber, squeeze out the juice with the help of a lemon squeezer and mix with the glycerin and rosewater. This proves to be an amazing lotion for a suntan.

Aloe Vera a fantastic healer
Another relief from a sunburn is a lotion made from Aloe Vera gel. The other ingredients required are eight ounces of non-medicated lotion, five drops of peppermint oil, five drops of clove oil and two to four teaspoons of powdered Comfrey Root. Mix all the ingredients together with two to four tablespoons of Aloe Vera gel. Keep in the freezer for a few minutes to chill. Along with the healing qualities of Aloe, the lotion is a fantastic relief from the damages caused by sunburn too. One very important point is that, you can use more Aloe Vera gel or Comfrey Root but more of clove or peppermint may cause skin inflammation and irritation.

A bath to get relief
A bath definitely provides relief but this bath is a bit different from your regular bath. This time it would not be just water. Mix two to four cups of Colloidal oatmeal, half to one cup of baking soda, one or two cups of powder Chamomile flowers and one cup of buttermilk. Do not use the regular Colloidal and you can easily miss out on the buttermilk as it is optional. Add these ingredients to the bath water. You can also simply tie it to the faucet with the help of cheesecloth for an aromatic bath.

Lavender and mint for sunburn
More precisely, a sun burn mist, this is a combination of lavender, peppermint and spearmint with distilled water. Take nine drops of lavender, two drops of peppermint and one drop of spearmint and mix with two fluid ounces of water (distilled). Now apply over your skin. The combination promises great relief from the sunburn.
