- 1). Take aspirin as directed on the bottle. Do this as soon after obtaining the sunburn as possible. The anti-inflammatory properties of the aspirin will ease the swelling and redness caused by sunburn as well as give pain relief.
- 2). Add 1/2 cup of baking soda to a lukewarm bath. Soak in the bath for 7 to 10 minutes. In addition to providing a cooling effect to the sunburned areas of your body, the baking soda will help your skin remain hydrated.
- 3). Let your body dry naturally after the bath. Using a towel could further irritate the skin.
- 4). Apply aloe vera to all the sunburned areas of your skin. You can use either the fresh aloe vera directly from the plant or an aloe vera gel or ointment purchased from the drugstore.
- 5). Wear loose, lightweight clothing made from soft, non-abrasive fabrics.
