Hydrate: Sunburned skin should be hydrated, and lotion is a good way to to keep the skin moisturized. You can also use aloe gel to cool the skin.

Why would you use: An astrigent if you already have a sunburn? Ouch, ouch, ouch. How about allowing the tissues to heal first. You can break off pieces of aloe vera plant ; apply sap to skin.
