Baking Soda (Bicarbonate of Soda) can soothe the sting of sunburn, windburn and other minor burns. Just saturate a washcloth in a Baking Soda solution (4 tablespoons in 1 quart of water) and apply to the affected area. Or make a Baking Soda paste with 3 parts Baking Soda and 1 part water and apply to the area.

You can also relieve the discomfort of itchy skin by placing wet tea bags onto the affected area for some soothing relief.
