  Sunburn Prevention and Soothing the Burn
The following steps have been recommended by the American Academy of Dermatology and the Skin Cancer Foundation to help reduce the risk of sunburn and skin cancer. Remember, prevention is the best policy!
 
 
 
Minimize your exposure to the sun at midday and between the hours of 10:00 am and 3:00 PM
 
 
Apply sunscreen with at least a SPF-30 or higher, to all areas of the body which are exposed to the sun
 
 
Reapply sunscreen every two hours, even on cloudy days. Reapply after swimming or perspiring
 
 
Wear clothing that covers your body and shades your face
 
 
Protect your children. Keep them from excessive sun exposure when the sun is strongest (10:00AM and 3:00PM), and apply sunscreen liberally and frequently to children 6 months of age and older
 
 
Do not use sunscreen on children under 6 months of age. Parents with children under 6 months of age should severely limit their children's sun exposure
 
 
Avoid exposure to UV radiation from sunlamps or tanning parlors

 
 
Always consult a physician with your questions concerning the health effects of UV exposure
 
 
Use an aloe-vera lotion containing a sun-block. This will cut out 90% of the burning rays and allow 75% of the tanning rays to reach the skin
 
 
Remember - If you turn bright red, get blisters, have fever, chills and nausea -
CONSULT A DOCTOR
 


If you should get sunburned here are some old fashioned remedies that may help. Don't forget the best remedy is prevention as a severe sunburn is no laughing matter. Always consult a medical professional!

 
Aloe
- Take as many leaves as necessary from an aloe plant; refrigerate; peel off top layer of leaves; apply the side of the leaf with flesh exposed directly to the sunburn. Other remedies use aloe vera juice: for mild to medium sunburn, keep the affected area moist with aloe vera juice. Repeat frequently. This will reduce the pain and the amount of peeling. Aloe vera ointment works well, too, as it contains oil and will not evaporate. For a severe sunburn, keep the area moist at all times with aloe vera juice. Since aloe vera is an astringent, you may want to use aloe vera ointment or some sort of oil, such as olive or baby
 
 
Aloe Juice
- Combine the aloe juice with ˝ the amount of vitamin E. Dab on the sunburn. Vitamin E is a good moisturizer
 
 
Apple cider vinegar
- Apply apple cider vinegar to the burn with a cotton ball to relieve the pain. Keep the skin moistened. This remedy will prevent blistering and peeling
 
 
Aspirin
- Aspirin kills the pain and reduces inflammation and redness of a sunburn. It short-circuits the whole sunburn process. It must be taken within 24 hours of getting sunburned
 
 
Baking soda
- Dissolve some baking soda in water and make a compress using a clean cloth. Another remedy is to add 1/2 cup of baking soda to a tepid bath and soak. Instead of drying the affected area with a towel, let it air dry. Baking soda is cooling and will help the skin retain moisture
 
 
Baths
- Add 20 drops of each of lavender and chamomile essential oils to a tubful of cool water and soak for 10 minutes
 
 
Bergamot
- Add bergamot oil to cool bathwater
 
 
Calendula
- Put 20 drops of calendula tincture in four ounces of water and bathe the skin until the pain goes away
 
 
Cucumber
- Rub sunburned area with fresh cucumber slices
 
 
Epsom Salts
- Dissolve Epsom salts in water and make a compress using a clean cloth
 
 
Ice
- Apply ice or cold water to the burned area. This will stop the burning process and cool the skin
 
 
Lavender
- Mix 20-25 drops of lavender oil in one cup of water and bathe the sunburned area
 
 
Lemon Water
- Mix the juice of three lemons into two cups of cold water and sponge on the sunburn. The lemon will cool the burn, act as a disinfectant, and will promote healing of the skin
 
 
Milk
- Make a compress of whole milk (or buttermilk) and apply to the burned area for 20 minutes; repeat every two to four hours. Wash the milk off so you won't smell sour! The fat content of the milk is soothing for burns
 
 
Oil
- Cover the area with cooking oil and sprinkle powdered ginger on the oil. This will promote healing
 
 
Onion
- Bruise an onion and rub on the burn
 
 
Peppermint
- Apply peppermint oil to the sunburned skin. You can also make a mild peppermint infusion and use it as a wash to cool the sunburn
 
 
Potato
- Grate a potato and apply it to the burned area. The starch will cool and soothe the burn
 
 
St. Johns Wart
- Make an ointment or salve with the essential oil of St. Johns Wort for burns that have not broken the skin. It is antiviral, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial
 
 
Tea
- Make some tea, cool, and apply to the burn. While any tea may be beneficial, mint tea, such as peppermint or spearmint are especially good. The teas have tannins that help the healing process
 
 
Urtica Urens
- Put 20 drops of urtica urens tincture in four ounces of water and bathe the skin. This remedy is good for itchy, prickly skin
 
 
Witch Hazel
- Make a decoction of witch hazel and apply with a compress
 
 
Yarrow
- Native Americans used an infusion of ground yarrow as a wash
 
 
Yogurt
- Apply plain yogurt with live cultures
