Sunburn is a burn to living tissue such as skin produced by overexposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, commonly from the sun’s rays. Even though most people do get sunburn, there are a lot of precautions you can take to prevent it.

• Take some mustard oil and rub it on the affected area. It serves as an excellent home remedy for sunburns.
• It’s a good idea to purchase a waterproof sunscreen and apply it liberally whether you think you’ll be going in the water or not.
• Avoid sun exposure between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. when the sun’s rays are strongest.
• Drink plenty of water to keep your skin, and the rest of your body, hydrated.
• Wear Sun Glasses, Hats And Tight Shirts.
• Take three small tomatoes and mash well. Add a cup of butter milk. Mix well and apply on skin. Allow to dry for one hour at least. This will help to reduce pain and take heat out of skin.
• Avoid wool or synthetics with sun-burn though you’ll be most comfortable with no clothing on the affected area.
• Examine your skin frequently for new skin growth or changes in existing moles, freckles, bumps and birthmarks
