First off, tsk tsk for not using SPF! But since we\u2019ve passed the point of no return, I\u2019m going to let you in on a little secret that gets rid of sunburn\u2014fast. The average time it takes to go from burnt to brown: 12 hours. Giving you that fun-in-the-sun tan you wanted, just in time to say \u201cI do.\u201d Step 1: When you get home, take a cold shower. This will rinse off any SPF 10 lotion you put on and start reducing the redness, swelling and itching.Step 2: Take an Ibuprofen, such as Motrin or Advil, or naprosyn, like Aleve which are all anti-inflammatory to help dull the pain.Step 3: Fill a bowl with warm water and soak four black tea bags in it (I prefer Earl Grey) until it\u2019s black. The tannins in the tea help draw out the burn. Step 4: Let the water cool to a lukewarm temperature, and dunk a rag into the tea (note: it\u2019ll get stained, so don\u2019t use a nice washcloth). Then lightly dab it onto the burn.Step 5: Keep doing the entire area until it\u2019s either covered or the tea has turned cold. Do not rinse off. Re-apply using lukewarm tea as necessary.Step 6: Consistently drink water to rehydrate your skin, which helps it repair itself.Step 7: In the morning, slather on moisturizer and, if you go outside, practice safe sunning!"},{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org\/","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"name":"The Ultimate Recipe to Get Rid of Sunburn (Fast!)","item":"https:\/\/equallywed.com\/the-ultimate-recipe-to-get-rid-of-sunburn-fast\/#breadcrumbitem"}]}]
