A Quick TikTok Trick for Fast Sunburn Relief

Even with thorough sunscreen application, it’s common to miss a spot and end up with a painful sunburn. But fear not, there’s a quick solution for sunburn relief that goes beyond basic aloe application.

The Beauty Hacks TikTok account, followed by over 700,000 users, has a brilliant remedy: frozen aloe cubes.

Aloe is well-known for its anti-inflammatory properties, often found in after-sun products. Combining aloe’s soothing benefits with the cold temperature of ice enhances its redness-reducing abilities, offering a smart solution to reduce inflammation quickly.

The best part? This sunburn hack is incredibly simple. Just fill an ice cube tray with aloe gel (a silicone tray works best for easy removal) and place it in the freezer. The gel will harden within a few hours, ready for use after your summer activities.

While the exact freezing duration isn’t specified in the Beauty Hacks video, preparing the aloe cubes in advance ensures they’re ready for soothing relief when you get back home.

Remember…

As handy as this sunburn remedy is, prevention is key. Always use SPF 30 or higher and reapply every two hours, especially during water or sweat-intensive activities, to protect your skin from sunburn.
