The summer season is a time to kick back, relax, and enjoy some time in the sun. But spending too much time outside without proper skin protection may cost you. Overexposure to the sun is not only dangerous, it’s also painful. If you have spent your summer days baking in the sun and are now struggling to ease the ache of your sunburn, Pure Skin by Maggie in Honolulu, HI, has a few suggestions that can help. As a certified professional with a strong background in cosmetology and dermatology, Maggie Liu can provide solutions that’ll take your sunburn’s intensity down a few notches. 

In addition to offering sunburn calming facials, Maggie suggests trying the following all natural sunburn treatments:

  • Aloe: Aloe plant leaves produce a gel that is naturally cooling and soothing. Applying some form of this ingredient to your skin, whether it’s directly from the plant or from lotion, will help alleviate the sting of a sunburn. 
  • Mint: Mint leaves provide just as much aromatherapy as they do sunburn relief. Not to mention they make for a very soothing tea bath. Simply crush a cup or two of mint leaves and let them soak in hot water for a few minutes. Once the leaves have been strained, you can add the tea to a bath or dab the cooled mint leaves on your skin.
  • Oatmeal: Like mint, you can add oatmeal to a bath to calm your sunburn and sooth your skin. To create an oatmeal bath, you can use any type of oatmeal you have at home. For best results, add one cup of uncooked oatmeal to tepid water, soak for about 20 minutes, and pat your sunburned skin with a thin layer of oatmeal.
