Unlike my fierce and beautiful mother, I sunburn. Fast. All it takes is 5 or 10 minutes in direct sun and I am red. Not only that, but my skin will continue to burn once it starts. The method described here is, by far, my favorite way to treat burns. It also helps my skin to stop burning! This method is the only way I have been able to successfully treat burns on my sensitive skin and wake up to much less burned skin. Disclaimer (out of necessity in these times we're in): I am not a doctor. Do your own research, know your own body and make a decision for yourself (apply this advice to all areas of life).
Recipe/Method:
- Raw aloe - apply generously to burned area
- Calendula gel - apply generously to burned area once aloe has dried
- repeat the above steps 2-3 times for comfort
- Castor oil - right before bed
- I apply aloe then calendual gel as described above, then I "lock it in" with a light application of castor oil
- Homeopathics (again - not a doctor)
- Cantharsis - 30c
- Cell salts
- Take before bed
Notes/Commentary:
Your body will be different than mine, but this is what works wonders for me and hopefully it will work for you too. This is the only method I have found that will stop my skin from continuing to "cook" even once I'm out of the sun. This method will also radically heal my burns. I once got a sunburn on my face over the weekend and had a dermatology appointment the next day. I used the exact method as described above and when I woke up the next morning I had zero signs of sunburn on my face! My skin felt moisurized, happy and healthy. My legs also got burned (more severely than my face) and while that burn took two days to heal - that's a significant improvement for me, otherwise that burn 1) would have gotten significantly worse overnight and 2) would have easily taken a week to heal.
Like I said, this is what works for me. If you're new to homeopathy, let me know if you'd like to read a brief article about them and I can link some helpful resources. If I do, I'll come back and link it here. Otherwise, I highly recommend doing some research into homeopathy. They are incredible, safe and highly effective.
Let me know if you try this method out, or if you have other tricks that have worked for you.
