your skin.
As the sunburn heals, it is normal for the burned skin to become itchy.
This moisture will help relieve some of the itchiness.
3. Milk can ease discomfort.
Apply cool milk to your skin.
Milk forms a protective film on your skin, which will help with the discomfort associated with sunburn.
If you are allergic to milk, cool tea bags can also be used on your skin.
Tea contains tannic acid, which helps your skin return to its normal pH balance.
Tea bags also draw heat away from the skin, which has been burned.

4. Antioxidants help reduce inflammation.
Antioxidants such as vitamin E or cucumbers can help with inflammation, which usually occurs with sunburn.
You can use vitamin E supplements or oil.
If you use cucumbers, make sure you chill them first.
Then, mash or place them in a blender to create a paste.
Once you have created this paste, apply this to your sunburned areas.
Cucumbers add an analgesic property in addition to antioxidants. This means cucumbers help you with pain as well as the inflammation of the sunburned skin.
