Or apply a thick layer of plain yogurt on the skin and sit for 15 minutes before cleaning with a little cool water or floral water.

Red clay
Red clay is a powerful anti-inflammatory and an outstanding healing agent. Rich in minerals (magnesium, potassium), it stimulates blood circulation and skin repair. The icing on the cake: clay also illuminates the complexion.
Instructions for use: mix one teaspoon of red clay with water to obtain a slightly thick paste, not very fluid. Spread the dough on a cotton cloth. Apply the clay directly to the skin and leave for 2 hours, minimum. The best is to leave it on overnight and rinse it off with lukewarm water as soon as you wake up.
The Aloe Vera
We know the digestive virtues of aloe vera juice, but used in gel form, this plant has incredible healing and softening properties. Aloe vera works wonders for relieving sunburn because it contains amino acids (7 of 8 essential, 11 of 14 secondary) essential for regenerating skin cells and anti-inflammatory enzymes.
Instructions for use:
- Apply to the burn and let the skin absorb the product before applying a layer.
- Do not rinse.
- Prefer the organic gel sold in a jar, highly concentrated in aloe vera juice rather than a cosmetic product that "contains aloe worm". The gel will keep for six months in the fridge after opening and treat sunburn.
The vinegar
White vinegar and apple cider vinegar can be used as desired. The vinegar has the effect of softening the skin and calming the irritation. It is especially perfect for quickly relieving the pain of sunburn. The pH of the vinegar rebalances that of the skin, which has just been attacked by the sun and brings an immediate feeling of freshness. Try to stay out of the sun and wear protective clothing.
Directions:
- Fill a bowl with half cold water and half white vinegar.
- Soak a cloth in this mixture and apply it to the sunburn for 5 minutes.
- Repeat the operation two or three times. You can also apply apple cider vinegar compresses.
The melon
If you have a melon on hand, don't hesitate! The melon pulp contains softening vitamin A, which calms inflammation, and the seeds are rich in fatty acids which soften damaged skin.
Instructions for use: take out the blender, crush the fruit with the seeds - this is important - then apply to the sunburned area. Cover with a clean cloth and leave to act for 15 minutes, patting gently.
Beer yeast
The brewer's yeast is rich in B vitamins, necessary for healthy skin, particularly vitamin B9, which helps cell regeneration.
Instructions for use: dilute a tablespoon of brewer's yeast with a little sweet almond oil. Apply this "paste" to the affected area and leave this mixture in place for 15m before rinsing off with lukewarm water and get sunburn relief.
