How to remove a skin burn after a tanning bed

Home remedies for sunburns
Taking a cool shower or bath will soothe the burning sensation and reduce inflammation. Add ½ cup of baking soda to the bath and then soak in it for 10-15 minutes. Baking soda is able to retain moisture and cool the burns after tanning, reducing pain.
The most common remedy for burns is sour cream. Take this product of any fat content, lubricate the places of redness and wait, after a while the redness will begin to subside. The disadvantage of this method is the smell. Some time after application, the sour cream will start to smell unpleasant, so as soon as you feel relief, wash it off your body and apply any nourishing cream to the burn site.
The fatter the sour cream, the better
