What is a good oil-based cleanser for sunburns?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Noxema, and others: Though Noxzema has some astringents too, it makes a good oil based cleanser for sunburned skin because of its soybean oil, linseed oil and glycerin. Cleansers with shea butter, and olive oil also make suprisinly good bases for sunburned and moisture starved skin. Pond's, environ, kiehl’s, and dhc deep cleansing oil also work with--and not against- sun damaged skin.
