How to… heal sunburn naturally

Parvinder Sagoo, lead pharmacist and health adviser for simplymedsonline.co.uk, shares his tips

KEEP SKIN COOL WITH GREEK YOGURT

‘Apply a spoonful of cold yogurt on the burnt area of skin and it should soothe the area within minutes.’

APPLY HONEY

‘Crammed with antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, and rich in natural antioxidants, honey can be a fantastic remedy for burnt skin. Apply the honey directly on to any burnt areas and leave for around 20 to 30 minutes before rinsing off.’

EASE IRRITATION WITH BLACK TEA BAGS

‘Place one or two soaked and chilled tea bags on to your skin, leave for a few minutes and these should ease any pain and irritation.’
