Sunburn Remedy?

in 2nd Trimester

Does anyone know of any at-home remedies that are safe for sunburns? I've found putting milk on a washcloth and applying soothes, but didn't know if anyone else has tried anything else with good result?

Thanks!

    Cold Noxema face cream....it's the best ever!  And it smells great.

    Oh! That's an awesome thought! That would work good too because it's worse of my face than anywhere else! Thank you!

    I've only had bad sunburn 2 or 3 times, but ended up with a welting chest from sunburn in Mexico one year.  I was in a hotel so had limited resources.  I steeped regular chamomile tea pretty strong, then let it cool off and wiped it on with a washcloth.  The chamomile did wonders!!!

    White vinegar... it doesn't smell great but it helps so much!  When I was younger my friend & I laid out and we were burned to a crisp all over.  My ex-bf told me about the vinegar and although we were skeptical we tried it (I always put plenty on using a washcloth or cotton balls).  The next day we had gone from bright red to light pink!

    This!  Vinegar also works wonders on non-sun related burns!  :)

    100% aloe vera always helps my sunburns =)  If you want it to really soothe put the bottle in the fridge for a while.
