How do i get rid of redness from sunburn?


I have a party to go to tomorrow but i got sunburn this morning. I have been applying Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel for the past couple of hours.

Is there anything that can get the redness to go down or disappear?
----------

take some tylenol or ibuprofen. Wet some tea bags and soak the area that is affected. You can also use Preparation H ointment (not cream). I know it sounds weird but it is formulated to reduce swelling and redness. It works on zits too.  (+ info)

Home Remedies for getting rid of redness from sunburn?


I got sunburn badly on my face yesterday and the prom is in a week. Im stuck in the house with basic house-hold things, not much I can really grab from the store like Aloe or anything. I've got some Banana Boat Aloe Spray, just cools my face off, it is still red. Is there any home remedies that actually work? If so, could you please type step-by-step instructions to do them? Thanks guys!

egg whites work on burns, i got burned badly on my hand and the egg whites helped take the red out. If you're up for it, put it on your face, leave it for as long as you can and don't touch it!! i hope it works, and have fun at prom :) you can always put makeup on if none of these remedies work ..buy a green-colored concealer to counteract the redness and then put your regular foundation on

this explains the green concealer:

How can I get a tan without getting sunburn?


My body is really really white while my face, arms, and legs are normal. How can I get a tan without getting sunburn? I don't want to use a tanning booth or anything. Just laying on the beach or something. Help?

Ok when I was little I was sunburned easy, when I would go out side or to a beach I would be sunburned really fast, I lived in Florida for 18 years and I would just be burned, I was like you I went onto the Internet for info. and it helped when I would go outside I will put around 40-30 SPF and then work my way down but not below SPF 15 then when I would get use to the sunscreen I would put tanning lotion on 'cause my body will already be ad adaped to the sunscreen so then I would get a good tan unless than a week. So try that out it should help. Good Luck too!  (+ info)

How do I reduce the redness in a sunburn and promote healing faster?


I just got a mild to moderate sunburn on my face yesterday. I now know that I should have covered my face! But now that it's after the fact and I can't change the burn, I am wanting to know if anyone has any tips on reducing the redness from the burn. I know aloe is good, but the big thing of aloe gel that I had in my fridge is mysteriously missing, and I don't want to have to go out and buy any of the cheap stuff and the good stuff I had is not cheap. I put apple cider vinegar on my face last night and this morning, and I also used some vitamin E, lemon, and some other blended oil on my face (I think that worsened it, but it kept it moist). I'll stop rambling...any suggestions?

I went snowboarding a few days ago and was extremely sunburned on my face. I know you dont want to buy aloe vera, but it is honestly the best remedy, even if you just get the standard gel that is about 5 dollars. In my experience, the first day my face was blistered and I applied thick aloe vera continuously. The next day it was still very dry and I continued to apply aloe vera gel on it and it was getting better. When you go to bed or are just sitting around apply a thick, thick amount and it will soak in. Make sure every few times you wash your face to prevent infection. Once it starts to peel (if you do) you can continue to use aloe vera, but also I found this really great lotion that is very sensitive on the skin and feels great too. It is Aveeno baby lotion soothing relief moisture cream. It is fragrance free and hypoallergenic. In only 4 days my blisters have turned to peeling and now it is almost completely healed.  (+ info)

Why does sunburn cause your skin to age?


Sunburn is attractive to me, my family and my friends, and I think sunburn feels wonderful and tanning is also popular in my family. Why does sunburn cause skin aging, skin cancer, and skin peeling? Help please someone!
----------

Excellent question but the answer may be complicated. It has to do with the celluar changes which occur in the skin cells. The details relate to cell biology.

The sun basically speeds up maturation processes in the cells. This leads to skin cells both looking more aged and being more susceptible to cancer (mutation).  (+ info)
