Sesame Oil

Jonah Tebaa in Lebanon - good
Just cover the burnt area with a 1mm layer of sesame oil. It's soothing at the time, and helps keep the moist environment required for a faster healing. Smell is not so bad, and spreading is not as painful as other treatments.
After 4 hours, clean up roughly, and reapply as indicated above.

A House Leek works even better then Aloe Vera for a sun burn. Simply crush a few leafs and rub them on the burn. By the next day the burn is practically gone.

PEANUT OIL FOR SUNBURN ,FOR ONE THING

Glenn first aticle in Boston, Ma - best
Generously apply peanut oil in the infected area of the sunburn then gently spread it. Once done start gently massaging the oil into the skin. For best results massage in a circular motion. Once the majority of the oil has absorbed into the skin then continue to re-apply the peanut oil repeatedly until the oil remains floating on the surface of the skin. At that point it is evident that the skin is now saturated with the peanut oil. Depending on the severity of the burn one may have to re-apply and follow the same procedure as I did when I developed a third degree sunburn. I used only peanut oil and the skin was softer than a baby's skin. You will know if you need to add more oil to the sunburn as the warmth begins to return. You are simply replenishing the moisture to the skin that the sun took out.

HONEY!

Ros in Alabama - best
Yes, it's messy, but if you can cover your burn (ANY burn) with a layer of raw unpasteurized honey and a layer of gauze it's hydroscopic, natural bacterial and enzymatic properties will help it heal fast and with less damage to the underlying tissue.

Tomatoes

Hannah in San Diego, CA USA - good
I saw this remedy online and it is sooo soothing. I sliced a fresh tomato into several slices and laid the slices over the sunburn. It was on my back so I had someone help put it there for me.
It is instantly cooling and actually healed the rather severe sunburn in just over a day, which used to take over a week. I think it has to do with the vitamin found in tomatoes that helps heals burns.

Works every time!!!

Heidi in Auckland, New Zealand - good
Aloe Vera works every time for fast sunburn relief. You can use an aloe vera plant or buy a bottle of aloe vera gel at any health store (some pharmacies also sell it). Simply rub all over the sunburn and re-apply it about every hour.

Another thing that works is white vinegar, it takes away the sting. Fill up a bath with cool water and add 2 cups of vinegar and soak in it for about half an hour. Or fill up a spray bottle and spray all over the sunburn. You smell like a packet of chips but it realy helps!!!

SUNBURN RELIEF

Becky in Wildwood Tx - best
When I get a sunburn I put noxema cream on the area during the day, the vapors help cool the skin. this is fast relief.
At night i dampen a hand towel or reg size towel depending on the area and place it on sunburn, the towel will dry as your skin soaks up the moisture. If you wake during the night redampen the towel.
