Using home remedies to treat sunburns
Have you ever left home on a summer day without putting sunscreen on and came back home later only to discover that you got sunburned? The pain, the itchiness and the unbearable hotness of the sunburned skin forced you to look for relief until you found something that worked.
Did you know that there are some home remedies that can help you treat your sunburn? And the best part is that they are free as home remedies use stuff that you probably already have in your kitchen cupboard!
Here is a list of home remedies commonly used to treat sunburn:
1. Cold water compress – probably the easiest home remedy to come by; it brings some relief to the sunburned skin, helping to cool it down. You can also take a shower with cold or lukewarm water. Remember to gently pat your skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing it – otherwise, you might irritate your very sensitive, sunburned skin.
2. Moisturizing lotion – if your sunburn isn’t bad, apply moisturizing lotion to your skin. Wait for it to absorb and repeat the process again – the goal is to moisturize your dry and irritated skin. Do it as often as needed to help your skin heal faster.
4 Natural Home Remedies to Ease the Pain of Sunburn
At some time or another, we’ve all experienced the effects of sunburn – be it a light burn or a more heavy burn.
Although the sting of regret of inadequate protection (from UV exposure) can be an excellent incentive to plan more carefully on ‘future’ occasions, it’s of little help in soothing the immediate physical sting (i.e. pain) accompanying sunburn.
However if you ‘have’ found yourself having spent a little too much time in the sun, — here are 4 natural home remedies to help ease the pain of sunburn, and assist in the body’s healing process:
1. Cool Milk Compresses: – The fat and lactic acids in milk are known to have soothing qualities for sunburned skin. Soak a soft cloth or cotton gauze in cool whole milk, and dab carefully onto the burned skin. Do this for around 20 minutes, and follow by rinsing off with cool water. (Due to the importance of the milk’s fat content, it’s important that whole milk be used in this treatment).
Quick Health Tips – Skin Diseases Causes And Remedies
The common skin disorders and remedies:
1. Warts: Warts are firm abnormal elevated blemishes on the skin caused by a virus and are often highly contagious. Most are benign and disappear without treatment. Genital warts are an exception; their presence greatly increases the risk of genital cancers and so, should be treated by a doctor at once. Otherwise, warts do not have to be removed unless they become irritated or unsightly.
Remedies: Over-the-counter preparations work in some cases, but follow directions carefully. Some contain salicylic acid, which can burn the skin. Never apply these preparations to the genital area or the face.
2. Eczema and dermatitis: Eczema and dermatitis both refer to inflamed, scaly, itchy skin. Eczema typically occurs in babies, produces symmetrical patches on the face and limbs and is often associated with allergies and asthma. Dermatitis, a variation of eczema, is triggered by exposure to an irritant.
Remedies: Although eczema and dermatitis can cause intense itching, try not to scratch. Scratching only intensifies the problem and may also lead to infection. If a baby develops eczema, keep his or her nails cut short to prevent scratching and if necessary, cover the hand s with cotton socks or mittens.
