10 At-Home Sunburn Remedies

The moms at Popsugar have come together to create a list of most-used and most effective remedies for soothing a child's sunburn.

Here's what they suggest:

1. Aloe Vera
Well known as a skin soother, aloe is one of the most commonly recommended and effective sunburn remedies.
2. Vinegar
Apply a vinegar-soaked cloth (often apple-cider vinegar) to sunburned skin to ease the heat and sting.
3. Oatmeal
Oatmeal is an easy at-home remedy for sunburn. Rori C. adds, “If you have any Aveeno Oatmeal Bath packets on hand, those are great.”
4. Vitamin E
Either pop open a vitamin E gelcap and apply it to the area, or find a cream with vitamin E at the drugstore.
5. Baking Soda
Yet another of baking soda's many household uses is relieving itchy skin caused by a sunburn.
6. Yogurt
Elaine E. explains: “Plaster it on, and let it dry, and then wash off with warm water. The yogurt draws the heat of the burn. It does work, and it's cheaper than lotions.”
7. Noxzema
“Just put it on, and let it dry, wash it off, and do it again,” advises Ashleigh L. “It saved me from second-degree sunburn when nothing else would.”
8. Cornstarch
Cornstarch is yet another sunburn remedy you probably have right in your cupboard.
9. Cucumber
Another natural remedy for sunburn is cucumber.
10. Pain Reliever
If badly burned, you may want to supplement other natural remedies with a pain reliever.

We've probably all heard of using items like aloe vera and vinegar to treat a sunburn. After all, they work well and are easy to keep on hand.

Have you ever tried baking soda or cornstarch? What about cucumber?

I always pack corn starch in my beach bag. It works well for removing the pesky sand from your feet and hands. It's nice to know I can toss some on my shoulders too if they feel a little sore at the end of the day.

I'm not sure if I would be willing to give my child a pain reliever for sunburn without consulting a doctor, but many moms think it's a great idea to help them get a little sleep. Have you tried that method?
