How to Use Emu Oil to Treat Sunburns

Emu oil is a soothing treatment that can be used to promote healing in any number of skin ailments and helps to aid in circulation. It can be used to treat everything from burns to arthritis and from new tattoos to eczema. If you have recently gotten a sunburn, emu oil will help to ease the pain and to promote healing.

Instructions

• 1

  Get out of the sun as quickly as possible if you notice that you are starting to burn. The damage to your skin has already been done, but you can keep it from getting worse.

• 2

  Apply emu oil directly to the site of the burn as soon as possible for the best effects.

• 3

  Massage the emu oil gently into the skin until it is absorbed. Emu oil absorbs faster than aloe treatments and helps to bypass the peeling stage of sunburns by moisturizing the skin.

• 4

  Reapply the emu oil when the skin begins to feel itchy, dry or painful again.
