The rash is typically reddened, thickened, and blistered, and it can be extremely itchy. Although a sun rash looks very similar to a sunburn, the root cause is different, and frequent sun rashes can be a cause for concern, as they may indicate the presence of a medical problem which has increased the body’s sensitivity to light. You may also hear a sun rash referred to as “sun poisoning.”

Follow these steps to ease discomfort caused by a sun rash.
Step 1

Avoid scratching those blisters. It may be the first thing you want to do to relieve the itching associated with a sun rash, but do not scratch them. It could lead to an infection, which will require a doctor’s visit and antibiotics.

Step 2

Treat your body to a nice soak in a bathtub of cool water to ease the itchiness and discomfort caused by the sun rash. Add cornstarch, oatmeal or baking soda to the bath to soothe your skin even more.

Step 3

Wear light, cool clothes on your skin during the day to avoid irritating the sun rash.

Step 4

Apply Aloe vera gel–either store-bought or from an Aloe vera plant–to treat the sun rash to help relieve the pain.

Step 5
Put hydrocortisone cream on the sun rash to soothe the itch.

Milk Mask for Dry Skin
This recipe makes a mask for two

Ingredients:

  • 1 tsp powdered milk
  • 1 tbsp runny honey
  • 1 tsp aloe vera gel
  • 2 drops essential oil

Preparation:

This is a classic milk mask for the face. Mix ingredients well, apply to face, let sit for 15 minutes, wash off with warm water. This recipe is enough for two. (Note: The original recipe called for 1 tbsp pulverized almonds, but I have removed it from the ingredients list because almonds, no matter how pulverized, can tear at skin).
