Sunburn care: Applying cool compresses can improve comfort. The skin will eventually change color and likely peel off as it heals itself. Avoid scrubbing at flaking skin and use fragrance free soaps to keep the area clean. Some people use aloe vera to relieve pain and speed healing, but be cautious of preparations containing alcohol. Pure lavender oil can help reduce pain and blistering if applied early.
