It's SOOOOOO nasty!! It's starting on my shoulders and I can't stand it. I'm practically bathing in lotion, but it's not really helping. Usually my skin is really good, but this was a bad burn. Any good remedies to stop the peeling, or at least prevent it next time(besides sunscreen. Figured that one out the hard way...)?

HOME REMEDIES FOR SUNBURN

* Always cool down the burn first. Ice is good for most burns, but severe burns can only be relieved by cold water.

* Boil water and steep many tea bags to a very strong tea in a large pot. Add ice until the tea is just slightly warm. Put a bath towel into the pot and keep turning the towel until it has soaked up all of the tea. Have the sunburned person lie on the floor or bed on top of an old towel to catch drips. Place the wet towel over the sunburned area of the body. Leave the towel on for a half hour for a moderate burn and an hour for a strong burn.

* Apply vitamin E cream to affected area and take vitamin E supplements. This will not cure the sunburn but it will help reduce itching and will speed recovery.

* Prepare a yogurt-based paste with barley and turmeric and apply to affected areas.

* Apply cold aloe Vera gel, apple cider vinegar, or plantain to help heal sunburn.

* Apply some sandalwood paste to affected areas.

* Apply regular yellow mustard to the burn. Once it dries, wash it off and this will prevent it from blistering.
