4. Aloe Vera
If you happen to have a child that listens to you when you tell them to apply sunscreen, you are one of the lucky ones. Sunscreen also easily washes off in the pool or due to sweat. Even if you do lather your child in it, it is possible (and likely) that your child will end up with some sort of sunburn if they are out in the song for a prolonged period of time.
Aloe vera is a perfect remedy for sunburns. If you happen to have a fresh aloe plant, cut off a small piece, cut it open lengthwise and apply the gelled inside directly to your child’s skin. If you don’t have fresh aloe on hand, store-bought aloe gel is arguably just as effective.
