3. Vitamin E capsules
If you have some vitamin E capsules laying around your house, then maybe it can be a great idea to open a few of them and use their oil as a remedy for your skin burn. Vitamin E is a known antioxidant that decreases skin inflammation, therefore using the vitamin E oil will not only help with the skin restoration, but it will also help diminish the itching and burning feeling. If you prefer, you can also place them in the refrigerator for a small amount of time to get that cold effect on the affected area.
4. Cucumber paste
Did you know that cucumbers have anti-inflammatory properties? This is why a lot of people place slices of cucumber on their eyes. It soothes the skin. But that’s not the only thing cucumbers have to offer. They also have natural antioxidants, which have pain-relieving properties. This means that if you blend a couple of cucumbers, you can use the raw paste as a cream for any wound you might have on your body. From a burn to a scratch, the cucumber paste will help you heal in a matter of days.
5. Tea Bags
In case you didn’t know, black tea is famous for a special ingredient that goes by the name of tannic acid. This acid happens to soothe any type of skin irritation while maintaining your skin’s pH level. This is why you can use a teabag as a compress for your skin burn. Or, if you have massive sunburns, you can also brew the tea, let it cool down, and spray your entire body with it or use a wet cloth to apply it in certain areas.

6. Baking soda bath
When talking about sunburn remedies, you’ll notice that the word “soaking” is used a lot. This is because when you soak yourself in something, you’re allowing the liquid to effectively penetrate your skin while you lay there for a couple of minutes. One way you can do this is by using baking soda, which helps with skin irritation and reduces the awful burning feeling of a sunburn. All you need is 1 cup of water and 4 tablespoons of baking soda if you want to apply it to smaller areas. But if you have your entire body sunburnt, it’s best to take the baking soda bath for at least 10 minutes.
