When it comes to moisturizing and soothing sunburned skin the coconut oil is usually much better for sunburn treatment than Aloe.

However when you combine the two oils of coconut oil and aloe Vera you get even better results.

The coconut oil and aloe Vera oils or gels does not actually health the sunburn itself but it does help soothe the sunburn and moisturize the skin which makes the sunburn less painful.

Soaking in a cool bath or taking a cool shower can also help soothe a sunburn.

Within a week or a few weeks the sunburn should go away.

To prevent sunburn make sure to apply sunscreen because sometimes you can get skin cancer from getting too many sunburns and they are painful as well.
