• Step 1: Cool Down Your Skin
  Cool down your skin area with cold water or ice. Gently apply the cold and ease your skin area to go for further steps.
• Step 2: Clean With Antiseptic
  You need to clean the skin at first with some antiseptic. You can tea tree oil, honey or witch hazel as natural antiseptics. To effectively spread it, use a wet soft cotton cloth and add few drops of antiseptics. Now, slowly clean the area with the cloth and keep it until you’ve done the full area. You can do the same process with a wet cotton ball. In that case, it will just take more time to cover a larger skin area. Now leave your skin at least for 30 minutes.
• Step 3: Moisturize with Homemade Creams
  If you have a sensitive skin just make sure you wait until your skin calms down. Then use some moisturizer cream that suits your skin.
  • You can use homemade solutions as moisturizer like some Aloe Vera gel. It will be better than creams containing chemical ingredients or preservatives. Beside that you can also use cucumber paste with some honey and apply in the area.
    Baking soda can be a great solution to soothe your skin. Also if you add some baking soda with Aloe Vera it will work like a moisturizing cream.
  • You can use black tea bags to reduce the redness of your skin. All you need to do is moisten the tea bag in warm water and then rub it over the affected area.
