How To Treat A Sunburn With Lemon

While more severe sunburns may require special medical attention, a minor sunburn can be remedied naturally and organically. Follow these easy steps to find out how to treat your sunburn with lemons.

Step 1: You will need

  • 3 lemons
  • 1 kitchen knife
  • 1 measuring cup
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • cold water
  • 1 soft sponge

Step 2: Mix Your Medicine

Measure out two cups of cold water into your mixing bowl. Cut three lemons and squeeze in the juice.

Step 3: Heal The Burn

Take your sponge and soak it in the lemon water. Gently blot the sponge on your sunburn. While the water will provide a natural cooling effect, the acid in the lemon will act as a natural disinfectant and help your skin heal faster. You are on the road to recovery thanks to the natural healing power of lemons.
