Is coconut oil good for sunburn?

Coconut oil: I think it works well. Coco butter and aloe vera are also good. If you have blisters, however, it is a second degree burn. In that case you need to see a physician.

YEs and also...: Sunburn is response of the tissues to injury from solar radiation. It is simply inflammation which means increase blood flow to the area to promote healing. Do not use ice as this can injure already injured skin. Cool water soaks can help as can taking anti-inflammation medicines like Motrin or advil (ibuprofen). Avoid any further damage as this can cause scarring . Good skin cream applied daily/gently helps.
