Sunburns are the worst, and often inevitable, part of spending time outside. The pain, tenderness, swelling, itchiness, and irritation can take days or even weeks to heal fully – and it may itch or peel while it heals. This summer, turn to natural remedies, like Nirvanta Afterburn Lotion, that may help you skip “the peeling phase”, turn a sunburn into a tan, and love the sun.
Common Home Remedies for Sunburns
If you’re looking to speed up your recovery from a sunburn, there are many DIY remedies you can try. Some of the more popular ones include:
-
- Aloe Vera – applying a topical aloe vera gel a few times a day
-
- Oatmeal bath – soaking in cool water with oats is known to be soothing and hydrating to the skin
-
- Baking Soda bath – this powder can also be soothing to dry, itchy, and inflamed skin
-
- Hydration – sunburns suck water from our bodies like a straw. To hasten your healing, stay extra hydrated while your skin is red and irritated.
-
- Apple cider vinegar bath – this is a popular internet method for soothing sunburns, although there’s no scientific proof it actually works, and vinegar may be irritating to burned skin
-
- Vitamin E – topical application of Vitamin E can help reduce irritation, soothe inflammation, and promote skin healing, although Vitamin E oil is not a common household item.
Essential Oils for Sunburns?
Essential oils, extractions from plants, herbs, and flowers, have long been a staple of skincare and herbal remedies. Today’s scientific advances allow us to extract beneficial compounds in essential oils better than ever.
Certain essential oils may be able to help you heal from sunburns when used properly, but these must be used with caution. Essential oils are highly concentrated and should not be used directly on a sunburn or it may irritate your skin further. Instead, essential oils should be diluted into a topical solution with carrier oils to be absorbed into the skin.
You can either formulate your own topical sunburn relief balm or cream with essential oils, or you can skip all that work and rely on Nirvanta AfterBurn lotion, specifically formulated with essential oils, carrier oils, and plant extracts to help you heal quickly.
Essential Oils for Sunburn Relief: Natural Healing with Nirvanta AfterBurn
Sunburns happen—even to the most careful of us. Redness, heat, and peeling can leave your skin feeling raw and uncomfortable. While aloe vera is the most famous after-sun remedy, essential oils for sunburn offer powerful healing benefits too—when used safely.
Essential oils are concentrated plant extracts, rich in vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. But because they’re so potent, they should never be applied directly to burned skin. Instead, they need to be blended into a lotion or diluted with carrier oils for safe use.
You could create your own sunburn relief balm at home—or skip the work and reach for Nirvanta AfterBurn Lotion, a doctor-formulated blend of essential oils, carrier oils, and plant extracts designed to cool, hydrate, and repair sun-damaged skin.

3 Must-Have Topicals for Sunburn Relief
Aloe Vera & Aloe Vera Leaf Juice
A classic for a reason, aloe vera soothes and cools hot, inflamed skin. Research shows aloe can accelerate burn healing and reduce irritation. Unlike sticky aloe gels, Nirvanta’s formula absorbs smoothly—delivering hydration without that tight, tacky feeling.
Vitamin E (Tocopherol)
Vitamin E is a powerhouse antioxidant that helps minimize redness, swelling, and inflammation caused by UV exposure. It strengthens the skin barrier, reduces scarring, and supports healthy skin regeneration.
Shea Butter
Rich in fatty acids and vitamins A and E, shea butter is both moisturizing and anti-inflammatory. It prevents peeling and forms a protective barrier that helps skin heal without further irritation.

Rosehip Seed Oil
Packed with vitamins A, C, and E, rosehip seed oil repairs damaged skin, reduces redness, and may minimize scarring. Studies show it also supports collagen synthesis and wound healing.
Jojoba Oil
This oil mimics the skin’s natural sebum, allowing deep absorption without clogging pores. It delivers lasting moisture and restores balance to sun-damaged skin.
Sea Buckthorn Oil
Rich in omega-7 fatty acids and antioxidants, sea buckthorn reduces swelling, calms redness, and strengthens the skin barrier. Research highlights its potential for UV protection.
Sweet Almond Oil & Apricot Kernel Oil
Both oils are highly moisturizing and help reduce water loss, keeping skin soft and preventing peeling. They also contain anti-inflammatory compounds for added relief.
