Ouch, you burned! Now what? Forget about running to the store to buy those pricey formulated lotions. Instead, ease the pain with Mother Nature's little helpers, most of which you already have at home. Aloe Vera Use the gel that's inside leaves to soothe burns and tighten pores. Apply a little to your face after cleansing. Milk Add a cup of milk to a cool bath and soak in it for 10 minutes to calm inflamed skin. Vinegar Soak a cotton ball in white vinegar solution (1 tsp vinegar plus 1 cup water) and dab on. Oatmeal Add ½ to 1 cup of finely ground oats to a tepid bath and soak in it for 15 to 20 minutes to alleviate stinging skin. Honey Apply a thin layer of natural honey on the burn to speed up healing and minimize pain. Click here for more sunburn remedies from Woman's Day.
