Jakki Sheridan-Ross from England used Aloe Vera for Sunburn in June 2011
Bought this with rosa mosqueta as a Sunburn reliever - found it was so lovely on the skin that I continued using it as a facial moisturiser. I have sensitive acne prone skin with a tendency towards hyper-pigmentation and stress eczema. I use the gel sparingly as a little goes a long way. I have also had IPL hair removal (intense pulse light) recently and aloe gel is used to cool my skin - I am very pleased to say I have not had ANY pigmentation marks from the IPL (a common side-effect and a problem I have anyway if i'm not careful) and I put this down to the aloe gel. I am in my late 40's with english medium skin that tans easily but rarely burns. My husband has lily white irish skin that burns quickly and the aloe was originally bought for him with instant results to cool the burn and repair the skin, so much so that I tried it as a facial moisturiser and continued use.
give it a try! it really is gentle and suits sensitive skin - combined with the known benefits of rosehip oil it really is a wonderful natural alternative anti-ageing product that is much more effective and much cheaper than the high-priced chemical factory high-street cosmetic brands.

jennifer from USA used Aloe Vera for Sunburn in August 2010
I have used aloe for 2-3 days following a Sunburn to soothe and heal.
I have used aloe gel for sunburn for my family for years, but am now interested in the use of aloe drinking juice for my son's asthma and also for myself for GI issues.

Carrie Wilby from UK used Aloe Vera for Sunburn in November 2009
My Dad got quite badly Sunburnt recently and he used the Aloe Vera Gelly which he said was a god send - it really cooled it down and he did not even get peeling skin. You could tell the difference after a day or so.
