If you are unlucky enough to have gotten a sunburn, these treatments can help take some of the heat out of the burn. Remember to keep your skin well moisturized and drink plenty of liquids, as sunburn can be very dehydrating to the body.

Apply you Sunburn Soother in one of the following methods:

1. Using thin fabric that will cling when wet, such as cheesecloth, silk or gauze, dip the cloth in the liquid and wrap around your sunburned body. You may have to repeat as fabric dries. Remember to use a good lotion after these cures, as they can be drying to the skin.

2. Add 1 to 2 cups Sunburn Soother to your bath water. Make sure the water is tepid, not hot. Moisturize your skin well after you bath to replace lost moisture.

3. Apply Sunburn Soother directly on the skin with a spray bottle. Do not rub the solution into the skin. Let dry and repeat if necessary after the solution has dried. Moisturize you skin well with a rich body lotion.
