Of course, we can never say it enough, to avoid sunburn, applying protection before exposure is essential. If despite the sunscreen, redness that burns you has appeared, here is a solution.
When leftovers help us in our daily lives
What if you used leftover food to care for your skin? Usually, we reuse canned oils as seasoning, fruit and vegetable peels as chips, infusions or broth; and watermelon rinds as pickles. However, it is possible to reuse these leftovers in other ways than in cooking, such as to repel ants using lemon, and even to soothe sunburn burns thanks to melon rind.
Melon rind soothes skin burns
As surprising as it may seem, melon rind soothes sunburn. So, don’t buy a cream right away, we’ll explain. When you cut your melon, store the pieces of rind in an airtight container at room temperature or in a cool place. If you get sunburn, take out a slice of rind and apply it, flesh side down, to the reddened area of your skin. To understand the process, the rind contains pulp that can absorb heat. As soon as it comes into contact with skin that has been overheated by the sun, the rind soothes any burning sensation and, at the same time, limits the risk of blisters that could cause sunburn. Once the rind is on the skin, repeat the action as needed, as soon as the rind becomes hot.
Now, save money and fight against waste by first testing the effectiveness of a melon rind!
