Sunburn can be controlled with the help of herbal remedies. With the help of herbal remedies the pain and swelling which is due to sunburn is reduced. The healing process is accelerated and can be applied at home easily. The herbal supplements are free from any chemicals.

1. Mix few drops of Sea Buckthorn oil with almond or olive oil and apply it over the affected skin. Repeat this rubbing process at least two - three times a day. You will observe the effective healing of the oil extract in reducing the damaging affect on the skin

2. Soak 2-3 bags of black tea into a bath tub filled with lukewarm water. As tea contains the tanic acid which reduces the pain caused by sun burn. The second method of application of tea bags is to wet in hot water and then allow it to cool. After some time place it directly on the affected area. You can also use chamomile or green tea. To give feeling of cooling you can use peppermint oil as well as tea.

3. Application of aloe gel on the affected area gives soothing effect on the skin.

4. Take 20 drops of calendula oil and mix it with 4 oz. of water. Apply this solution with the help of cotton balls on the affected area. It is also very effective herbal remedy.

5. Actually have the proper vitamin D level in your body. If your d levels are correct, you will tan and not burn.
