Folk remedies in the form of fermented milk products are not suitable for treating sunburn - any specialist will confirm this.
But this does not mean that there are no other effective home treatments.
The best of them were listed by experts from the publication Championat.com .
Option one
You will need a cup of whole oatmeal for one bath with cool water. Take the bath for 20 minutes.
This method will help to cope with pain and restore the skin after a burn.
Option two
Drinking plenty of fluids will help retain moisture in your skin and prevent general dehydration.
You can also eat watermelon, which contains the antioxidant lycopene, which reduces inflammation and oxidation in the body.
Option three
Use aloe vera gel, which in addition to its cooling effect also has anti-inflammatory properties.
It is applied to damaged areas of the skin.
Important! Fermented milk products are not the only home remedies that should not be used to treat burns.
Vaseline and Vaseline oil are prohibited, as they retain heat and worsen the condition of the burn.
It is a mistake to apply ice or ice packs to burned skin, as well as to puncture the resulting blisters.
