Tip when sunburn

The weather was lovely, so I spent some time reading in the garden. Of course, smeared. Unfortunately, I turned out to have forgotten my knee cavities. Result: red, painfully burned knee cavities.

Immediately smeared Aftersun, that helped a bit. Still bothering days after that. What would help against the pain?

On the internet, you can see all kinds of home remedies to soften burnt areas, such as yogurt and buttermilk.
That seemed rather messy to me. Especially because of the location of my burn. Slices of cucumber also want to offer a solution, did I remember about previous sun burns. The slices did get warm, so they did do something. Just not enough, I found.

But now the reason I'm writing this blog. A home remedy that you probably have at home (I do):

talcum powder! I started it yesterday and the place is already much less red. I can even touch it (gently), showering was no problem either!

Talc as a use for that sounds like a great idea! I feel that the burning could have a good relief to fix it

That's a sensitive mistake that you forgot to smear a bit. Glad you found an old home remedy that works well.

very interesting I know that all kinds of remedies come out on the networks but it's the first time I've heard of talc

My mother already knew this in the 1950s, which softens talcum powder in sunburn. Of course, not lying in the sun is best

Found on Google: “Despite all the precautions, did you get a little burned? A wet washcloth helps against heat rash and a lukewarm bath is a solution for extra cooling. To prevent further irritation, use talcum powder and make sure you always have a cooling aftersun at hand.

Funny, I would never have thought of talcum powder because it's dry. But of course, it does cool, and it may help, because it takes away the sweat? I'm going to remember!

Talcum powder, I didn't think of that. Good tip for the sun worshippers, I like to sit in the sun, but luckily I don't burn easily.

it is true that many people burn with the sun and become very red, their skin burns and they cannot tan, but little by little and with patience they can achieve it without damaging their skin

Great tip, I know it!
https://yoo.rs/de-zon-kent-voor-en-nadelen-1622472768.html?Ysid=101989 In my blog there is exactly such a story that happened to me and my sister when we were lying by the pool for a day and the outcome was indeed talcum powder. You can read many more tips on what to do about a burnt house there.

When this used to happen to me, I usually used (and use) aloe Vera plant or if I don't have the leaves then I buy aloe Vera gel. It's refreshing and it helps with the healing. Your tip must be very effective as well.

@roxana_ac Aloe vera sounds like a good solution. However, I didn't have that when I got my sunburn. I'll keep your tip in mind :)

in our courtship 1960 we were on vacation with my parents. Hubby was obviously burnt again, his legs bright red. My mom says, “smear it with buttermilk. Done, of course, and it helped right away, only that mess got stuck to his hair. That was ff less. Great that talcum powder helps you.

Good for you that it worked, although I find talcum powder rather abrasive in folds, like knee cavities.
