What's the best way to cure a sunburn?

Using Burn Heal doesn't really work.

Aloe might quicken the healing process.

Though I'm not sure there is aloe here...

seasalttwilight August 8 2011, 03:59:53 UTC

I can probably ask. What is it?

Aloe--aloe vera, really--is a succulent plant. The extract from it has been known to ease the pain of minor burns and possibly quicken the healing.

It sounds really useful. I'll have to look for it then

try aloe vera. that should help a lot

ummm also try wearing a long sleeved shirt when you got outside to keep it from getting worse.

[text] seasalttwilight August 8 2011, 03:58:58 UTC

Right. Where can you find that?

I guess I'll have to see if I have one....it's too hot to wear one though.

[text] travelsbywater August 12 2011, 03:37:34 UTC

umm... good question

it may be hot but it'll be worth not having the sunburn stinging

[text] seasalttwilight August 12 2011, 04:36:51 UTC

The sunburn'll sting?

There are lots of ways to cure sunburn, I've heard applying cucumbers to the burns works.

text; seasalttwilight August 8 2011, 05:13:32 UTC

Cucumbers? Really?

Re: text; pluckapeach August 8 2011, 05:23:47 UTC

Uh huh! You just take the slices and rub it over your skin, it relieves the pain!

I guess I'll have to get some cucumber then. Never heard of that method before.

[How can anyone be dumb enough to get sunburned...?]

Get out of the sun.

seasalttwilight August 9 2011, 00:52:01 UTC

[Because they're having too much fun on the beach]

I am.

piccolo_tomate August 9 2011, 01:23:27 UTC

Then there's nothing more you can do.

seasalttwilight August 9 2011, 01:56:06 UTC

Getting out of the sun doesn't make the burn go away

You probably already have enough recommendations for aloe vera... Keeping the burnt parts cold is also good to help relieve the pain, and keep in mind to drink plenty of liquid.

[Text] seasalttwilight August 9 2011, 00:51:17 UTC

Kinda figured out the cold part. Why should I be drinking liquid?

[Text] isthedeadcat August 9 2011, 04:44:34 UTC

A sunburn most times also means your body lost quite a bit of water, so it's good to get that water back.

[Text] seasalttwilight August 9 2011, 04:51:45 UTC

So it's like I'm dehydrated? Will that help the burn go away?
