A mild sunburn treatment can be had at home with a few simple ingredients.

- Cool cloths are the best sunburn treatment and will help remedy swelling and inflamed skin. Steep chamomile tea and cool. Soak a cloth in it for a medicinal compress offering pain relief.

- Aloe Vera in a lotion or a topical steroid cream helps soothe redness and protects the skin.

- Headaches and fevers can be a result, so make aspirin and fluids part of your sunburn treatment kit.

Peeling skin is part of the healing process, but using lotion can help it along and prevent cracks and scarring.
