Out of after sun? Yogurt is the perfect way to soothe your sunburn

Because who owns after sun?

What a weekend!

We spent our weekend laying on a patch of grass soaking up the rays, however many of us are suffering the scars today.

Yes, there were a lot of red faces this morning and most of us were left reaching for the after sun we bought three years ago and presumed was still in our bathroom press, but wasn’t.

However, there are other things that can work just as well as after sun – and some of them are already in your fridge.

Plain yogurt is filled with tonnes of probiotics and enzymes that are great for healing burnt skin.

Simply cover the burn with a layer of plain yogurt (make sure it’s not vanilla) and leave for five to 10 minutes to work its magic.

Rinse off and you should feel a lot cooler.
