remedies for sunburn!

For instant relief from sunburn, dab on a little
lemon juice or soak a flannel in cold tea and place it over the affected area.
for the kind of all-over sunburn that keeps you awake at night,
try adding two tablespoons of baking soda to a cool bath
and immerse your whole body in the water.
You can also mash the pulp of a ripe avocado and smooth
over the sunburnt area for a soothing effect.
Bathe your face in buttermilk or grate up some potatoes
and apply to the sunburned area.
The starch will cool and soothe the burn.
Use cold peppermint tea as a mild wash to ease the stinging.
Or you can try dissolving Epsom salts or baking soda in cold
water and draping a cloth soaked in the solution over the affected area.
Milk or magnesia has been successfully used to treat sunburn,
and mud or clay can ease the stinging pain.
