Summer weekends are great until you look in the mirror and realize your skin looks like a human Neapolitan ice cream. We have all been there. You forget to reapply your sunscreen during a quick day out, and suddenly you are dealing with a fiery red sunburn that slowly morphs into a stubborn, uneven tan. While the initial sting goes away, that dark tan loves to overstay its welcome. Before you rush to a clinic for heavy chemical treatments, take a breath. Your kitchen is already packed with natural ingredients that can gently fix the damage. But first, let us establish one golden rule. Never, under any circumstance, apply these remedies to an active, hot, or peeling sunburn. If your skin is still red and stinging, step away. Wait until the heat completely clears and only the tan remains before you try these five research-backed steps.
