You should apply aloe vera to sunburned skin about 2 to 3 times a day, or even every couple of hours for more severe sunburns, to get the best soothing and healing effects
. Apply it as soon as you notice signs of sunburn and continue daily until the burn has healed completely, which typically takes 3 to 7 days for mild cases
. Make sure to let the aloe vera gel fully absorb into your skin before reapplying
. Aloe vera provides immediate cooling relief, reduces redness and inflammation, hydrates the skin to prevent peeling, and promotes skin regeneration
. You can use pure aloe vera gel from the plant or a high-quality pre-packaged gel without harmful additives
. Remember, aloe vera soothes and helps heal sunburn but does not provide sun protection, so always use sunscreen to prevent further damage
