ALOE VERA FOR SUN BURN

A useful natural sunburn treatment is aloe vera. The gel, which is found in the aloe vera plant, is known for its healing properties for millennia.. Ancient Egyptians used it frequently in the healing and beauty treatments. Aloe vera will have an immediate cooling and soothing on the skin, and forms protective coating that precious fluid seal in the skin and prevents dehydration and promote faster healing. To directly use the gel from the plant, snap off a stalk of the plant and gently squeeze out the gel. Spread the gel in a thin layer over your sunburned skin. Because sun tends to affect a large area of skin, you may prefer a prepared aloe vera product. An aloe vera gel with lidocaine give you instant relief, but it is also possible to use pure aloe vera gel that is already packed. Other aloe vera preparations may include other beneficial ingredients like tea tree oil and green tea. Reapply as often as needed to relieve pain, speed healing easier.
