How to treat a sun burn?

    Aloe will help but here is my method:

    Take a milk bath it will soak up and hydrate your skin as well as sooth the burn. I usually throw some oats (for non itch) , tea bags (for swelling) and honey coats will help significantly towards healing the burn. After the cool bath, I take a hot shower and a scrubbie with exfoliating scrub and go pretty hard. This gets all the peeling off and restarts my skin. After that I do a soft scrub of baby soap this gently soothes it. Some of my friends have tried and like my method but if the burn is really bad you might want to wait to do the scrub part. Rinse off cool water and drench yourself in aloe. Make sure you drink a lot of water too your skin will need it. Good luck

    Aloh/Aloh Vera, it's a gel that cures sunburn over night, usually green. You can buy it anywhere, but in the meantime, dab it with a damp wash cloth, and don't touch it. It shod go away within two days or so. Hope this helped!
