Pratt alluded to aloe vera in the post as his go-to sunburn treatment, and that's a smart move: aloe-based products soothe the skin, reduce inflammation, and speed up healing.

If you're suffering with Pratt levels of sunburn, there are other home remedies which can help. "The best method is to apply cool compresses for 10 minutes several times a day," says Lindsey Bordone, MD , a dermatologist at Columbia Doctors Midtown in New York. She also recommends trying one part fat-free milk mixed with one part water for a quick and easy facial soak to help skin recover: "The protein in the milk as well as the pH-which is close to neutral-help restore balance to the skin."
