1/4
Aloe Gel
Moisturizing and nourishing, it calms and repairs skin damaged by sunburn. The best would be a home-made gel. Cut the leaf, remove the skin, then press out the pulp. Apply to the painful zone.
2/4
Lavender essential oil
Apply 2 to 3 drops on the reddened skin, and reapply every thirty minutes until the heat sensation disappears. Then use 2 to 3 applications a day until the the red patches are gone.
3/4
Compresses of bicarbonate of soda
This old remedy accelerates healing. Dilute a tablespoon (approx 15ml) of bicarbonate in 1/4 of a litre of water, dip a sterile compress into the mixture and apply to the skin. If the burn is widespread, you can also opt for a bath of 20 minutes with 4 to 5 tablespoons of bicarbonate of soda dissolved in the tepid water of the bathtub.
4/4
Homeopathic granules and cream
Massage delicately the burned skin with some calendula cream until you feel relief. Every hour add 5 granules of Belladonna 9 HP, and 5 granules of Cantharis 9CH three times a day in case of blisters.

You forgot to pack some sun cream and it’s a disaster! Your skin heats up, it feels itchy and you feel knocked out? Here are 4 remedies to quickly enjoy your holidays again.

Just a few square centimetres of non-protected skin, and the sun strikes. And it strikes hard! To relieve the pain, you can count on plants, homeopathy and grandma’s remedies. But be careful: if you are severely burnt and if the pain is unbearable, it is necessary to consult a doctor.
