Sunburn Cold yoghurt

I was told years ago that to relieve sunburn, spread plain cold yoghurt on the burnt area and leave for a few hours or overnight. It's messy but it works!

Natural yoghurt really does help relieve the pain - gently apply and feel instantly cool relief. After a few hours of applying gently rinse it all off and start again (otherwise it starts to crack and pull the skin)
