Editor Severe Collection-45 explained her exact ritual for soothing sunburn, which we call “witchcraft.”

His method contained more than just the usual aloe vera.

It won’t cost much either, using ingredients that many already have on hand.

She explained that her technique is full of antioxidants, making it ideal for those who suffer from sunburn.

TEA TIME

She starts by brewing black tea and then letting it boil before getting to work.

“Make strong black tea and let it cool, then wet your skin with the fresh black tea mixture,” she said.

Then she looks for a faithful old man to treat all kinds of burns.

“Apply thick layers of aloe vera gel,” she added.

Finally, she closes the deal with a product that can be found in the store’s children’s aisle.

“Before going to bed, apply a layer of diaper rash cream that is high in zinc and also petroleum or petroleum-adjacent ingredients,” she said.

“Some [diaper rash creams] They come with mild anesthetics too, which will help with any pain.”

HOW IT WORKS?

She would certainly explain how her sunburn sorcery is so effective in healing.

“Black tea has antioxidants that will help with the oxidative stress that occurs with sunburn,” she said.

She said she doesn’t understand why aloe vera works, but she still uses it.

According to the Cleveland ClinicAloe vera is not a cure for sunburn, but it can treat the pain that accompanies it due to its cooling effects on the skin.

She added that the zinc oxide in the diaper rash cream is anti-inflammatory to reduce the level of the burn.

Finally, she added that the oil works as an occlusive to promote wound healing.

Several Redditors gave their opinions on the unique approach to treating sunburn.

“What the hell is this,” wrote one. “I had no idea any of this could help except aloe vera.”

“Yes,” another gushed. “Black tea works like magic.”
