We all know we need to take care in the sun, but it's easy to catch a few too many rays. If you're feeling the heat and need some soothing, head to the fridge and pull out some milk or yogurt.
Skin-soothing lotions and aloe vera are nice, but if you run out or don't have any with you, Dr. Mary Lupo, a New Orleans dermatologist, suggests turning to dairy items. Open up the fridge and pull out that carton of non-fat yogurt for starters. Apply the yogurt to your face like a mask and, and leave it to work its magic.
If you don't have any yogurt, try a milk compress. Soak a towel or cloth in cold milk and then apply it to your sunburn. Opinion is divided about whether the lactic acid helps, but the cooling sensation is a big help.
