Cool off Cucumber

Burn-Fighting Effect: Cucumbers offer a cooling effect that rivals those of pharmaceutical products but without the chemical preservatives and harmful fragrances.

Sunburn Treatment: Cut several slices of cucumber and apply it to the affected area. You may also use it as a sun block by squeezing the juice from the cucumber and mixing it with rosewater or glycerine.

There are many ways to treat sunburn and of course some are more potent than others. It is always worth remembering that preventing sunburn is much easier than curing it. However, in the event that you are not able to do so, these remedies should suffice. You do not have to stick to one remedy as a combination of several is likely to yield a more satisfactory result.
