Sun Damages the Skin: Healthy Sunburn Treatment

The truth is that the sun damages the skin!  Sunburn is caused by over-exposure to ultraviolet light.

How can you healthily heal an unhealthy sunburn? No need for commercial products with chemicals and toxins. The focus of treatment for sunburns centers on reducing inflammation and pain. Natural treatments also protect the skin from further damage and replenish vital nutrients in the skin. Apple cider vinegar, aloe vera and coconut oil are among the best treatment options.



Apple Cider Vinegar

Apple cider vinegar is a natural anti-inflammatory agent. When applied to a sunburn, the substance naturally soothes the skin and reduces pain. The vitamins and minerals in apple cider vinegar also help replenish lost nutrients in the skin to speed recovery.






Aloe Vera Gel

Aloe vera is an especially effective treatment for sunburn. The substance contains a variety of vitamins, including A, C and E as well as folic acid and choline, which replenish and rejuvenate the skin. The substance also contains several amino acids and fatty acids that function to relieve inflammation and redness.
Coconut Oil

Coconut is effective for treating a variety of health conditions including sunburn. Coconut oil contains a unique combination of fatty acids that relieve inflammation and revitalize the skin. The moisture that coconut oil offers also prevents peeling that commonly results from sunburns.

Sunburns are often painful and can cause additional peeling of the skin, future wrinkles and other unhealthy skin conditions. However, natural treatment options relieve the pain associated with burns and prevent further damage.

When the biggest organ of your body is compromised, don't put chemicals or toxins on it. Many commercial products simply will not either work or help to repair with the necessary vitamins.  So try this:  

Ingredients


2 Tablespoons Extra Virgin Coconut Oil
2 Tablespoons Aloe Vera Gel

Directions
Place both ingredients in a small jar or bowl and mix thoroughly together.  Apply to affected area(s) of sun burn as needed.

If you are able to purchase Vitamin E oil, adding a few drops to this mixture will help as an extra healing agent.

Feel free to make larger quantities of this recipe, depending on how large the sun burnt area is. Make sure you apply this mixture to your skin every hour and it is quite possible your skin will not even peel!  

Place both ingredients in a small jar or bowl and mix thoroughly together.  Keep a lid on it and keep in fridge. Apply to affected area(s) of sun burn as needed. Keep a lid on it and store in fridge. 

Of course, the best recipe I can offer is STAY OUT OF THE SUN ... AND USE SUNSCREEN.
