You mentioned Aloe for “mild” sunburns, but I have used Aloe right from the leaf on very painful 2nd degree sunburns with great success, far above anything else I’ve ever seen. Most of the pain was gone in 24 hours, and in 3 days the redness was completely gone with no blistering.

Tannin works good. but, try just the coolness of water alone. It also works good.

Try the tannin, and then try just the coolness of water. See which works better.

Here’s a real good one. I used a product that I got in Hawaii. It is called… get this… Maui Aui. It has Aloe, Caledula for the skin and white willow for the pain and st. john’s wort for the itch. It’s great through the hurting,itching pealing phases and I think it made me heal faster. It sure made things feel better. It wasn’t very expensive, $8 or $9 if I remember correctly and it was WELL worth it. There was no phone number on it but the company name says Nature’s Rite. This stuff is like Natural Solarcaine. with aloe and skin regenerator. It’s really cool.

For mosquito bites lavender oil works good. Also Himalayan crystal salt, lemon juice or organic raw apple cider vinegar. I have not yet found a good spray on organic formula. --Dr. G

Yes this is true, you want the heat to be released. Aloe also works great. I recommend the product AquaSpirit which I developed for skin hydration.

Although the best remedy would be to avoid sunburn by paying attention to the conditions and limiting time in direct mid day sunlight.

I have heard that putting lotion on the skin after a sunburn is actually not good. Is this true?
I suppose the thought is that the lotion will keep the heat in or something. One thing for sure is sometimes a cold pack or icepack feels great on a sunburn. Usually we use aloe vera.
Thanks.

I’ve heard that tannin in tea helps to soothe some of the discomfort of sunburned skin. Brew a big pot of tea, and let it cool completely, then pour it into a spray bottle and spray it on the affected area. Have not tried it though to see if it works.
