cabinets can provide you with the relief you need. Here are some all-natural
home remedies you can use for sunburns.

After they have cooled, you can peel off the top layer of a leaf and apply the
exposed gel directly to the sunburn. Aloe is very effective in relieving pain
and inflammation.
b.. Baking Soda: Dissolve baking soda in water, and make a compress using a
clean cloth. Alternately, put 1/2 cup of baking soda into your tepid bathwater,
then let the affected area air dry.
c.. Cucumbers: Rub the sunburned area with fresh cucumber slices.
