It’s happened to the best of us—the enchanting charms of summer seduce us into spending long periods of time frolicking under the sun. And while it’s fun while it lasts, the skin-scorching effects of a ruby red sunburn will quickly turn your smile into a frown. If you forgot to apply (or in some cases, re-apply) sunscreen, and are now in a world of pain, fret not. TruTricks has offered up five tips for treating sunburns and alleviating the ow factor. See some highlights below:

  • Apply a cold compress covered in chilled aloe vera. Doing this with a hemp washcloth is best if you can.
  • Take a cool shower. Or apply chilled used tea bags. Tea has tannis, which speeds up the healing process.
  • Spritz yourself with organic vinegar.

Growing up, we always used vinegar for sunburns. Other's thought it was odd.

Good tips - I've found that cold aloe helps. Vinegar is also good.

Chilled aloe vera and chilled used tea bags works great for sunburns. Need to try vinegar how it works.
