Aloe vera is a handy, cheap and effective plant that can help relieve the pain and tightness of sunburn. If you have some plants growing, you’ll always have some fresh medicine at your fingertips.

Simply cut off a leaf, slice the skin open length ways and peel the skin open to reveal the green gelatinous liquid inside. Scoop it out with a spoon and gently apply it to the sun burnt skin. Repeat as necessary. Excess liquid can be stored in the fridge for 24 hours.

Please note that if your sunburn causes severe pain or blisters or you are concerned, visit your health professional immediately.
