10 exotic sunburn remedies you should try

---

Have you ever wanted a way to get rid of that nasty sunburn or simply wanted a few moments of relaxation without the pain?

No need to look no further!

Here are 10 weird ways to deal with that scary sunburn.

How about a shower gel?

It has been known to sunburn sufferers who resort to filling the tub with milk and climbing!

By taking milk out of the refrigerator, the cool air will help soothe the heat and then the milk will create an extra layer of protein on the skin to help protect the skin.

If you don't want to soak in shower gel, try grabbing a flannel and soaking it in milk.

Place the flannel over the infected area and let the milk soak in.

How about pat potatoes?

The technique of patting potatoes has been used all over the world and is actually a very popular way to help cure sunburns, although that doesn't make it very strange.

Take a few potatoes and cut them into small pieces.

Put them in the blender and grind.

Once they're in liquid form, gently pat the burned area with the potato mixture.

Let it all dry and then take a bath to remove them all!

Potatoes are said to be great for pain relief.

Would you like some vinegar?

This sounds extremely painful, when applying vinegar to a sunburn.

However, humans for hundreds of years have used vinegar to help with skin healing.

There's no research showing us what it does to heal skin, but after a cool bath, spraying apple cider vinegar on that area and letting it dry can help the skin heal.

How about a nice corn starch blend?

This works well with cornstarch or baking soda.

Place this mixture on the burn and let it sit until the pain subsides.

Make sure you wash it clean.

Both can help relieve pain and may also reduce redness.

Would you like some porridge?

It is said that avenanthramides, are an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds found in oats that help soothe the skin.

Crush one cup of unscented oats until it is smooth.

Add it to a little bath water.

Be sure to apply the mixture evenly to the burn and wash it off.

You can also add some egg whites to the mix if you like!

Frozen vegetables?

This is a very popular and strange way to deal with a sunburn.

Simply go to the freezer, grab a large bag of frozen peas, sweet popcorn or whatever you like.

Wrap it in a tea towel and place it on the burn.

The cool air will help soothe and relax the burned area.

However, you may have to move it on a regular basis to prevent it from numbness and possibly change the vegetable before it defrosts completely!

How about a good ice cube?

This is a very simple way to deal with a sunburn, but it can look weird if someone sees you!

Take an ice cube or some ice cubes and place them on a small cloth so they don't stick to your skin.

Rub this paste over the infected area and replace as needed.

This will help soothe and cool the area.

Yogurt?

Using nonfat yogurt and applying it to that area is a natural and relaxing way to deal with sunburn.

Again, this is another treat that will make you look weird if someone sees you, but immediately relieve the pain from that lovely yogurt.

Lettuce sounds like a plan !?

Take some lettuce out of the refrigerator and boil the leaves in water.

Let the liquid cool in the refrigerator for a few hours and then apply to the skin.

This will help soothe the sunburn.

Tea bags for your eyelids?

This is the strangest way to deal with your sunburn, but it's also known to be very healing.

By soaking the tea bag in cool water, this helps the tannic acid in the black tea to be released.

Then just put the tea bag on the eyelid.

This will help reduce the swelling caused by sunburn and will eliminate the hot and painful sensation you are feeling.

Some of these weird ways to deal with a sunburn are sure to help in times of need.

They also allow you to snack along with the pain!

However, it is probably best to avoid sunburn rather than a bath that smells like milk or smells like vinegar ...
