Thursday's "Tip of the Day!"

Here is a great tip for those of you who have seen too much Sun in one day and got sunburnt!



Got a bad Sunburn?!


Here is a great old time remedy for that nasty Sunburn.....VINEGAR! I know, aloe vera is cooling, Noxema is wonderful, but why not head to your kitchen cupboard and just grab some Vinegar?!


You can use either distilled, white or apple cider...it doesn't really matter. Just place some on a rag or in a spray bottle and place all over your Sunburn. It will take away that burn almost immediately!

  1. My mother used this on us, and I used it on my kids too! It works, it's cheap, and it's easily accessible. Great idea to share!

  6. My grandmother used that on me but the one that works and no smell is cold milk, salt and ice cube in a bowl. Dip a wash cloth squeeze the cloth lightly and lay the cloth on the sunburn. It draws out the heat.
    Being a redhead I've been burnt more times that I'd like to remember.

  8. We LOVE vinegar for so many things around the house! We have been using the Topricinkids on our kiddos for all kinds of things (bee stings, aches and pains and it works on sunburns etc) and it is all natural! We love natural products- so thanks for this advice! smilinggreenmom
