Now, the dillema is...how do you treat sunburn?

Let us share with you 5 very effective home remedies for sunburn straight from your kitchen:

1. Lemon  or Calamansi Juice

The acidity of lemon juice will help heal your burn fast. But don't apply it directly as it will burn your skin

• Squeeze one fresh lemon or calamansi to get the juice
• Mix it with water
• Preserve it in a bottle
• Soak a cotton in the  juice and apply it on the affected area
• Leave it for 10-15 minutes
• Wash it with cool water

2. Milk

The coolness of milk helps sooth your burnt skin.

• Soak a clean cloth on the milk
• Drape across your burn, pressing gently so that it stays in place, and leave it on for as long as needed
• The milk will create a protein film that helps ease sunburn discomfort.

3. Corn Starch or Baking Soda

Both can minimize the pain and lessen the redness of the burn

• Mix enough amount (depending on our burn) of corn starch or baking soda in a cool water (not cold)
• Mix it until it becomes pastelike
• Apply the paste gently over your burn and leave it on until the heat or pain has subsided
• Rinse off completely

4. Apple Cider Vinegar

• Fill a spray bottle with pure unfiltered apple cider vinegar
• After shower, spritz a little on the affected area
• Let it dry

5. Cucumber

Option 1

• Slice up a chilled cucumber
• Lay the slices on your burnt skin

Option 2

• Chill 1 or 2 cucumbers in a refrigerator
• Process them in a blender until it becomes a paste
• Apply it on the affected area
