The redness and itching caused by the sunburn can be unbearable but try hard not scratch it. You might want to wash (or soak) your sunburn with cold plain water before applying the aloe vera’s gel onto it.


The soothing power of the aloe vera’s gel works almost immediately. However, if your sunburn doesn’t go away or if you suspect the sunburn is a serious one, then go to your GP as soon as.
