Spent too much time in the sun without enough sunscreen? Now your skin is burning from sunburn. As a natural remedy backed by generations of home care wisdom, apple cider vinegar offers quick relief from that intense discomfort. It calms irritated skin, eases pain, and helps reduce redness—even if its scent lingers briefly.
1. Mix 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar into 2 large glasses of cold water. Soak a clean cloth in the solution and apply it to the sunburned area. Reapply as the cloth dries.
2. For convenience, spray the mixture directly onto your skin instead of using a cloth.
3. Alternatively, add 2 cups of apple cider vinegar to a cool bath for full-body relief—a simple, effective option.
Vinegar mixtures can dry out the skin. After treatment, always follow up by moisturizing the area generously with a suitable lotion. Plain yogurt works well in a pinch.
