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.

Instructions

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.
