How to Stop Sunburns From Itching With Antibacterial Spray

Sunburn can cause your skin to be sore and sensitive--but it can also cause it to itch. With your skin too sensitive to scratch, the sunburn can drive you crazy. Antibacterial sprays are a good idea because they have a no-touch application, help relieve some of the itching and protect you from infection.

Difficulty:

Easy

Instructions

1. Buy an antibacterial spray that relieves itchy, painful skin.

2. Make sure the product contains other ingredients to help heal your sunburn. Specifically, read the label for Vitamin E moisturizers and Aloe.

3. Take a shower or clean the affected area with a damp cloth. Rub gently to avoid aggravating your sunburn even more. Dry your skin thoroughly.

4. Hold the can six inches from your skin. Spray an even coat on the sunburn.

5. Wait for the antibacterial spray to dry, then cover with a sterile bandage if desired.

6. Repeat one to three times a day until your sunburn goes away.
