Home Remedy for Sunburn

The sun is shining, the waves are crashing, and lobsters are laying on the towels near the shore. Everything's great except for the fact that you're that lobster. Missed a spot I suppose. Or maybe you forgot to reapply the sunscreen? Ouch. Well, did you know that tea is a great remedy for sunburns? Specifically black tea that is!

I hate getting sunburns - especially on my face! I always forget to cake it on my nose and my upper cheeks near my under-eye area. What's even worse is having somewhere nice to go to the next day. How can you reduce the redness fast and help it heal naturally? Black tea of course! The tea has natural ingredients that speed up the process of repairing and healing the burned and irritated skin cells.

How easy is it? It's actually very simple! What I do is get two black tea bags and stick them in a mug. Then, pour some water into the mug and stick it in the fridge until it's chilled. Grab a face cloth or a paper-towel (I prefer a paper-towel) and dip it into the cold tea. Dab, don't rub, onto your burn. I usually mold the paper-towel onto my face so it'll stay put. I did this before bed and left it on. In the morning, my red nose turned into a soft pink! Bye-bye, Rudolph! If your burn is on your back or other hard-to-reach areas, simply dump seven tea bags into your bathtub and take a nice luke-warm to cool bath. Aaahhh...

This is an awesome home remedy I came across and I hope it works for you, too! Good luck! :)
