Now that it’s warm outside, it’s likely that some small things may happen: sunburns, scrapes, cuts, insect stings, etc. These are no fun! When you’re pregnant, it’s important to be careful what you take or put on your skin, too. Luckily, there are plenty of safe, natural remedies for these minor, acute conditions.
Please note: if you have any serious condition, seek immediate medical attention. These remedies are intended for minor, acute conditions only!
Sunburn
Unfortunately, sunburn is pretty common in the summer months — ouch! If you are very red or have blisters, talk to a doctor about what to do. If your burn is minor, however, the following remedies may help:
Aloe vera: If possible, find pure aloe vera, or even use a fresh leaf of it. Smear it onto your burns as needed to relieve pain.
Cool bath: Sunburn is hot, and a cool bath may reduce pain temporarily.
Loose, light clothing: There’s nothing worse than restrictive or itchy clothing on a burn. Choose a light dress and, if you have to, skip the bra and panties (just stay in the house for a day or so!).
Coconut oil: This can help to nourish your skin as well as soothe and heal the burn. Bonus, it’s totally edible too! (Some swear it works as a sunscreen, but don’t take my word for that.)
