Filling a bathtub with oatmeal is something we commonly think of for relieving chicken pox, but it is also an effective remedy for sunburn. The soothing and anti-inflammatory nature of oatmeal when it is mixed with water can create a revitalizing film on your skin. Itching can be the worst part of a sunburn, and can lead to picking the burnt skin, which can lead to scars.
