Treat sunspot with oatmeal, cider vinegar

Seema Malik, a skin and cosmetic surgeon, shares a few tips:

* Place a cool compress on spotted skin. 

* Take a cool shower or bath. 

* Add one cup of cider vinegar to a bath to help balance the pH (acid or alkalinity) of spotted skin, and promote healing. 

* Soak in an oatmeal bath. This is especially helpful for itchy sunburned skin. 

* Use lotions that contain aloe vera to soothe and moisturize skin. 

* Apply cool, not cold milk with a clean cloth to your skin. The milk will create a protein film that helps ease sunburn discomfort.

* Vitamin E and antioxidants can help decrease inflammation caused by sunburn. Use Vitamin E oil on skin or take a regular dose of the supplement. 

* Apply freshly brewed tea, after it has cooled, to skin using a clean cloth. The tannic acid in black tea is said to help draw heat from sunburned skin, and also aids in restoring the pH balance.
