Noxema works great! Feels good on a sunburn, and heals it quickly! ...Don't rub it in, just lather it on and let the skin soak it up.

Cardio, cardio, cardio.\n\nThat's the quickest way to get rid of them.  The only other way would be to target the muscles around them, but that is very difficult to do.

The type of sunburn I refer to here is the type or level where tapping the victim on the shoulder is absolute agony or where your bedsheets hurt so much you cant sleep.Aloe vera in a bottle is fine but!!!!!Aloe vera in a plant,many of us have them.Cut two inches from the leaf ,slice down the middle and rub down gently on the burn in a straight line ,you will notice that you are still burning on both sides of the part you have just applied the aloe vera to but where you applied is pain free almost instantly.By doing one patch/line first it shows you,the disbeliever, how good it is.After you have done all the affected areas you can use P.A.B.A.(para amino benzoic acid)in tablet form.In England chemists dont seem to sell it but Holland & barrett do as will other health food outlets.I would take one tablet of paba for mild burn and if it doesnt go down in terms of pain I take more till it reduces to the point I can cope.My family have used this for 40 years without adverse effects.If in doubt ask the people in the health food shop,If you ask doctors about it they tend not to be pleased(my expreience but enlightenment is available free on the N.H.S.) because they havent prescribed it,please let me know it workedP.S. this is not a licence to burn ,if you allow your children to burn you are abusing them,sounds harsh but its true

I would try aloe. There are products in the baby aisle used to treat the same problem and would work for adults as well.\n Otherwise you just have to wait it out and stay out of the sun.

Days. Best advice is, don't ever get a sunburn.\nHaving said that, there are some medications that help with itching, especially at night. These would be anti-histamines like Benadryl. Take 50 - 75 mg. of Benadryl (aka diphenhydramine) at bedtime, and it will help you to sleep through it. Expect to be hung over in the morning, though. Another remedy (but harder to get) is lidocaine or benzocaine spray. This remedy only works for 20 minutes or so. Ice packs can help, as can a wet towel under a fan. Good luck.

ways to get rid of pimples\n1. Don't pick, press, rub, or otherwise manipulate your pimples. If you do, you risk spreading the bacteria and increasing the chances of scarring.\n\n2. Use an over-the-counter product containing benzoyl peroxide once or twice a day. It helps break up the plug of dead skin cells, bacteria, and oil that clogs the pore and forms an acne blemish. And it cuts down on the bacteria, too. Start with the lowest concentration, and work your way up.\n\n3. Try over-the-counter products containing sulfur or resorcinol, which help unplug oil glands by irritating the skin. However, most dermatologists believe that benzoyl peroxide is the most effective over-the-counter ingredient for acne.\n\n4. Don't just spot-treat acne; put the product on acne-prone areas, too. That can include your entire face (avoid the lips and eyes), back, and chest.\n\n5. Go easy on your face. Washing removes oils from the surface of the skin, not from within the plugged ducts. In fact, if you're too aggressive in your quest for cleanliness, you may end up drying out or irritating the sensitive skin on your face.\n\n6. Wash properly once or twice a day, using a mild soap, and rub lightly with your fingertips and warm water. If your skin is oily, use a soap with benzoyl peroxide for its drying properties.\n\n7. Don't use brushes, rough sponges, cleansers with granules or walnut hulls, or anything similar on the delicate facial skin. \n\n8. Don't use oily products, such as hair pomades, heavy oil-based facial moisturizers, or oily cleansers.\n\n9. Use water-based make-up.\n\n10. Don't get a facial. You may end up doing more harm than good.\n\n11. Don't rest your chin on your hands or constantly touch your face.\n\n12. Protect your skin from cancer and wrinkles without aggravating your acne by choosing an oil- free sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher.\n\n13. Don't worry about what you eat, unless you notice a correlation between a particular food and your skin breaking out.\n\n14. Watch out for iodine, which can be found in multiple vitamins and iodized salt. Some doctors believe iodine may encourage acne.

home remedies for sunburn\nMix 2 teaspoon tomato juice and 4 tablespoon buttermilk and apply on the face. Leave for 1/2 hour, and wash off.\n\nMix olive oil with equal quantity of vinegar and apply an hour before your bath for sunburn relief\n\nMake a paste of Barley, turmeric and yogurt in equal proportions. Apply it over the area of sunburns for sunburn relief.\n\nA thin paste of sandalwood applied to the sunburn area is beneficial\n\nIf you wish to take a bath, you can add vinegar to your water. The vinegar will take out the sting from the sunburn. You can also cook oatmeal and add it to your bath as well.\n\n    *\n          o Medications such as aspirin, ibuprofen, and naproxen are useful, especially when started early.\n\n          o For mild sunburn, cool compresses with equal parts of milk and water may suffice. You may also use cold compresses with Burow solution. You can buy this at a drugstore. Dissolve 1 packet in 1 pint of water. Soak gauze or a soft clean cloth in it. Gently wring out the cloth and apply to the sunburned area for 15-20 minutes. Change or refresh the cloth and solution every 2-3 hours.\n\n          o Anyone raised in a beach community knows the secret of aloe-based lotions. There are many commercially available types. Ask the pharmacist at your local drugstore. Tearing apart your aloe plant in the yard and applying the cool jellylike substance inside the leaves is no longer necessary.\n\n          o Cool (not ice cold) baths may help. Avoid bath salts, oils, and perfumes because these may produce sensitivity reactions. Avoid scrubbing the skin or shaving the skin. Use soft towels to gently dry yourself. Don’t rub. Use a light, fragrance-free skin moisturizer.\n\n          o Avoid lotions that contain topical anesthetic medications because you can become sensitized and then allergic to that medicine.\n\n          o Obviously, stay out of the sun while you are sunburned.

I worked in a steel foundry for 5 years and I got burnt many, many times.  You can hardly see any of them now, but they still hurt me when the sun hits them.  On most of the minor burns, I just used a strong vitamin E cream, from the pharmacy.  Around 10,000-25,0000 UI.  For, the bad burns, I used Silver Sulfadiazine Cream .  This is the best and only prescription burn cream out there.  You have to get it from your doctor.  Its sometimes called Dermazin.  For the most part though, it was time that healed the wounds.  It's amazing what the body can do.  Be patient.  Sometimes it takes a few years, but two or three years really isn't that long.  Best or luck.

Avoid using hot water on that area, it will dry your skin out more.  Apply Aloe Vera gel or lotion to the burnseveral times a day.  Do not use any oil or petroleum based products on a sunburn.  Stay out of the sun and allow your body to heal.  If the burn doesn't get better or you notice any unusual growths caused by the sunburn make an appointment with your doctor.  Next time use sunscreen that protects against UVA and UVB rays.  Protect your skin, good luck to you.

Peeling skin from a sunburn is the body's natural way of ridding itself of dead or damaged skin.  The skin underneath is going to be a healthier batch that needs the lotion or aloe vera.  If you've started peeling, just gently remove the skin and apply lotion or aloe.  This is probably the healthiest way to allow your skin to heal.

There are a lot of way, but the best is to use an Aloe Vera Gel that's been kept in the fridge. Get the kind with lidocaine in it. It's a mild anesthetic that will help take the sting out of sunburn.

You should do a skin patch test. Put a little bit on the inside of your elbow (turn your arm around, put it in the little denty bit). Leave it there for 24 hours, if it's not itchy or blotchy it should be fine for you. An SPF 50 will more than likely block out the sun completely. An SPF 15 is generally best (according to my sister).

Vitamin E, one of the antioxidants, can be taken regularly as part of a daily vitamin and mineral supplement or spread as in an ointment on sunburn. Vitamin C is another antioxidant that will help prevent severe damage from sunburn and shorten its effects. Selenium is a mineral that will help fight sunburn.
