Fresh tea. There is acid and theobromine in fresh black tea that helps remove the heat from sunburn. The best way to use tea on sunburn is to soak the tea bags in hot water. Then, let the tea cool. With a soft rag, dip it into the tea and dab it on the sunburned skin gently. It is important to let the skin absorb the tea. Then, after it dries, it can be reapplied. The best time to apply this treatment is right before bed. This way the tea can stay on the skin and help heal the skin during sleep.
