How to Relieve Sunburn With Yogurt



Getting sunburned can be a painful way to spend your vacation. Luckily, a home remedy may alleviate your sunburn pain without much hassle. Simply reach into your refrigerator and pull a container of yogurt from the shelves to begin relieving your sunburn pain.







Things You'll Need:





Yogurt




Aloe vera gel or mashed strawberries




Spoon




Cool water









1


Get the coolest container of plain yogurt available from inside your refrigerator. Check the label to make sure that the yogurt contains live cultures.





2


Add a spoonful of pure, aloe gel to the yogurt. Incorporate the aloe gel into the yogurt with a spoon. The aloe adds an extra skin-soothing ingredient to the yogurt. Alternatively, you may make a mixture of half mashed strawberries and half yogurt.





3


Spread the yogurt onto your skin using your fingers or a spoon. Add thick layers to the affected skin so that the yogurt covers the entire area of the sunburn.





4


Wait 20 minutes while the yogurt soothes your skin, warms and dries.





5


Wipe away the yogurt mixture as soon as it warms or dries on your skin.





6


Reapply another layer of yogurt if the pain persists. Repeat the process until you have used the entire container of yogurt and the pain subsides.





7


Rinse the last of the yogurt mixture off your skin in the shower. Use cool water to minimize pain.








Tips & Warnings










If your sunburn is contained to one area, consider soaking a small cloth in the yogurt mixture and using the cloth as a compress against your skin.








Don't use the yogurt mixture near the eyes.
