Thank you Crystal for featuring my article! 🙂
I can back up the Vinegar suggestion as a more natural and way more simpler way to do it.
It has worked for me since I was @ 8yrs old and my babysitter at the time didn’t listen to my mother about me and my skin. 6 hours of playing in a pool in the Arizona sun resulted in a 2 weeks of no clothes (couldn’t wear anything!) and blisters over 4 inches high. My mom tried everything, aloe vera made it worse, and finally stumbled upon someone at the pharmacy who suggested putting me in a warm vinegar bath. It hurt! At first but it slowly pulled out the pain & heat of the burn and lessened the blisters till (over a couple of days) it finally started to peal away!
From then on, as soon as I get even a blush of burn, I head to get a warm bath running, grab a book and a big glass of ice water and pour about 2 cups of vinegar in and soak for an hour (or so depending on the burn and/or book *wink*)!
You can also put plan white vinegar in a spray bottle and it works great on sunburn. It’s very economical and most of us already have it on hand. 🙂
should read **plain white vinegar 🙂
Great idea. I’ll have to try it. 🙂
