We all know it’s important to protect your skin from the sun. But yes, sadly, sometimes we forget wear a hat, or we’re out too long during the “danger hours,” or we don’t remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours or after swimming.

So you have a sunburn – how do you find relief? Here are some easy home remedies that will help get rid of the burning, stinging pain of a sunburn:

Yogurt. Not just a great calcium provider, yogurt eases the pain of a stinging sunburn in no time! Simply apply a thin coating of plain, natural yogurt to burned skin.

Cider vinegar. White vinegar is too acidic, but cider vinegar does a great job cooling down an angry sunburn. Add a cup to lukewarm bathwater and take a soak in it, or dab it directly onto the burned area.

Tea. Pat small, burned areas on your face or the tip of your nose with a wet teabag. You can also use it as a compress on sunburned eyelids. For larger burned areas, brew some tea, let it cool, then dip a cloth in it and use it as a cooling compress on the burned areas.

Note: If your sunburn is severe enough to cause blistering or peeling, don’t use these remedies – consult your doctor instead.

According to the American Cancer Society, over one million people in the United States alone will be diagnosed with skin cancer this year – and most of those cases will be sun-related. Melanoma, the deadliest form of skin cancer, is responsible for more than eight thousand deaths per year.

The good news is that skin cancer is almost totally preventable, and 95% of all skin cancers are treatable if found early. By checking your skin regularly and guarding it from the sun, you’ll not only prevent serious health problems – your skin will look younger and healthier, too!
