There’s no way around it, prevention is key for sun protection. Apply sunscreen before going out into the sun and reapply frequently. But, every once in a while you may mess up and let the sun get the best of you. Facebook user, Cindie Allen-Stewart, shared a home remedy she uses as an alternative to aloe… and apparently it works!
Secret ingredient: Menthol Foam Shaving Cream
- it has to be foam and it has to have menthol. Cindie recommends Gillette, easily found on Amazon
Step 1: Apply the shaving cream on the burn. Do not rub it in, just let the cream sit on your skin.
Step 2: Once it begins to dry up, about 30 minutes, rinse with lukewarm or cool water
Step 3: You should see immediate results, repeat daily until maximum relief is achieved.
