How to Get rid of a sunburn. The single most effective method.

Sep 12, 2010 05:00 PM

Gather Materials

Well this is my first how to and is only going to be short because its an extremly easy and effective method to removing a painful sunburn. This method was recommended to me by my friends mother, who is a nurse and therefore MUST know what shes talking about. Turns out she did. I hope this helps many a painful sunburn to receed or dissapear.

You will need a total of five things. 

1)A bathtub to do this in (preferably ceramic, so it wont stain) 

2)A pitcher 

3)A rag that you dont mind getting stained 

4)Water 

5)Three bags of black tea (I use Earl Grey)

Fill the Pitcher

First things first, strip down, because you dont want to get any of your clothes wet. Fill the pitcher with warm water and soak the tea bags in it. When you have the water almost black, like the picture, then move on to step 3.

Heal that burn!

Dunk the rag into the tea, and dab it onto the sunburn. DO NOT WIPE IT OFF! Leave it on and let it be absorbed into your skin. Once its dry, re-apply as necessary, but never wash it off. If you do this process before bedtime, you can go to sleep and give it time to work its magic. In the morning you can wash it off in your shower. The sunburn should be substancialy subsided or all gone, but remember: the sooner you can apply the tea after you get the burn, the quicker and more effective it will be.
