Aloe Vera
Aloe vera is among the best remedies for sunburn. The gel found inside this cactus plant is a great way to ease the pain, speed up the healing process, and moisturize the skin. Separate the leaf of a plant and apply the sap directly to your skin or buy pure aloe vera gel at your drugstore. Do not forget that there are kids who have an allergic reaction to aloe vera gel, so you might need to avoid using it if you are not sure. Moreover, you can also try it out on a small patch of skin first.
Cold Compress
For heat, pain, and swelling try a cold compress. Wrap an ice pack or set of frozen vegetables in a soft towel and place it on the burn. Always avoid putting ice directly on skin, as it will only worsen the situation. Ice compresses should be joined as often as possible for 10-15 min during the day.
