Cold water

Applying cold water compresses is highly recommended to relieve the discomfort of sunburn. You can do this by dipping a towel in cold water and applying it to the burned areas for several minutes. Soak the towel often to keep it as cool as possible, avoiding applying ice to burned skin. This could decrease blood flow and cause tissue damage, as well as give you a cold burn.

Water compresses can be a great help in removing heat from your burn, but you should apply them right after you’ve sunburned.

Plantain leaves

Another home remedy for sunburn is plantain, a highly recommended plant for this purpose. Although it is native to Europe and Asia, it grows almost anywhere in the world.
