Yogurt is a natural healer. It is the antidote for the burn of hot, spicy food in Indian cooking by re-establishing acid/alkaline balance and works the same way for sunburned skin.
For sunburn, I use compresses of natural yogurt to help cool and hydrate the skin. You wrap whole-milk, full-fat, plain yogurt in several layers of cheesecloth and compress the burn. Replace with fresh compresses as the yogurt warms on the skin Repeat compresses until the skin is cooled and soothed. Yogurt can be spread over the entire body—turning, up-setting, painful sunburn into a fun spa treatment that girls, especially, will love. Leave the yogurt on for 10 to 15 minutes, then rinse off in a cool shower.
