Use Aloe Vera at Home

For sunburn, rashes, insect stings, and frostbite: Simply spread aloe vera gel gently on irritated skin and let it soak in and dry. Many people find that aloe vera gel stops pain and itching as soon as it touches the skin. You can reapply it as often as you wish.

For cuts and scrapes: Be sure to wash wounds well before applying aloe vera gel.

For minor burns: Immediately cool a burn first by running it under cool water for 5 to 10 minutes. Don't put ice on a burn, because the coldness can damage burned skin. Then, if the burn is minor (not blistering), you can gently apply aloe vera gel.
