Dip some gauze into milk and apply it to your sunburned skin. The tannic acid in the tea draws the burn out of the skin and heals it. After just one application, most sunburns are no longer painful and are much less red. However, this treatment will act on the pain but may not prevent peeling.

Thanks for the info but I hope I NEVER have to use any of them this summer!! Because if I do, I'd be sunburnt

Where would you get sandalwood paste?

Ancient recipe : Calamine lotion and more calmine lotion and later, when the skin is clean again, aloe vera for a change.

What I'm I missing here? What tea?
I agree with DivaDoll.... Don't get burnt! No excuses for it... Aloe Vera is the most amazing plant for all kinds of burns!!

I really wish people stopped saying ice. Never use ice, people !!

The reason why is ice is just too cold, it burns your skin too.

To cool down the temperature of your skin, just use room temperature water, or spray some thermal water if you have some on hand.

Aloe vera, calamine lotion, calendula oil are great remedies.
