What are 3-4 quick tips for healing a sunburn fast?
The following methods can help;
Ice pack
A cold pack can soothe sunburn and give relief. I recommend wrapping ice in a piece of cloth before placing on the burnt area. You can soak the wrapped ice in milk before applying on the burn. Milk has vitamins that can heal the skin.Please avoid applying ice directly on your skin.
Consider aloe
Aloe vera is a great coolant, whether the plant itself or manufactured cream. The plant contains anti-inflammatory features and is proved to promote wound healing and skin soothing.
Cool bath
Bathing or showering with cold water can soothe your skin. After the shower, avoid drying off your body completely, and apply a moisturizer to keep the skin filled with water.
Oatmeal bath
Oatmeal bath can reduce skin irritation. Simply take water in a basin and add a cup of oats and a few tablespoons of baking soda.
How long does it take to heal and what would you say are the healthiest, safest and overall best methods?
Several factors determine sunburn healing in an individual. For example, age, health, and genetics. But averagely, mild symptoms can take a maximum of 5 days, whereas severe ones may go for a few weeks. I always recommend aloe vera products as the best in healing sunburns.
