The woman shared her tips for treating sunburns on Reddit’s Skincare Addition forum, which has nearly 4 million members.
THE PERFECT MEDICINE
She responded to a Redditor who asked her for advice on her sunburned face.
“I use vitamin E on my skin after I’ve been out in the sun for a while, or if I’ve gotten a pink/red tan,” she said, writing under the name Tearingforthelight.
“I usually wake up without any redness or peeling!
“I took vitamin E to the beach and applied it every time after I showered, AND I DID NOT PEEL! OR STAY PINK!
“I also know that Benadryl helps because the red/pink color is an allergic reaction of your skin to too much sun.
“Benadryl and Vitamin E are my lifesavers from overexposure.”
She shared a link to purchase Horbäach Vitamin E Oil for $9.79 on Amazon, and grateful beauty lovers gave her a positive review.
Benadryl Allergy Ultratabs Tablets are available for $5.99 at CVS.
EXCELLENT OIL
More than 2,000 Amazon customers have purchased Horbäach Vitamin E Oil in the past month.
The animal-friendly product softens and rejuvenates the skin and provides a healthy glow.
The price for a pack of two is currently marked down from $11.52 to $9.79.
The oil can be applied to the hair for care, but also to the skin if necessary.
Satisfied buyers gave it a 4.7-star rating and shared their honest opinions in reviews.
Someone raved that the vitamin E oil was “really good” for hydrating the skin and healing blemishes.

Another said that using it daily from head to toe made their complexion look even.
“The product is great, I highly recommend it,” said a third customer.
“I suffered from terribly dry and reddish skin on my face due to the change of seasons and this oil helped me a lot.
“I can feel the difference after just one application. Amazing.”
Another person said she applies the oil before bed and wakes up with soft skin.
Benadryl Allergy Ultratabs Tablets are also highly rated by CVS customers.
The “easy to swallow” tablets cost just $5.99.
According to the Benadryl website, the active ingredient diphenhydramine HCl helps to relieve the itching caused by sunburn.
Adults are advised to take one to two tablets every four to six hours, or as directed by a doctor.
A cool shower or bath can also help relieve the symptoms of sunburn.
