- You can also create a moisturizing mask by mixing mashed avocado with honey and applying it to the face for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

- Home remedy: Aloe vera gel has soothing properties that can help relieve sunburn. Apply pure aloe vera gel directly to the affected areas.
- You can also soak a cloth in cold milk and apply it to the sunburned skin for a few minutes to help soothe inflammation.

- Home remedy: Oatmeal baths can help relieve itching and inflammation associated with eczema. Add colloidal oatmeal to a warm bath and soak for 15-20 minutes.
- Applying a mixture of coconut oil and turmeric to eczema patches can also help reduce inflammation and promote healing.
- Dark circles under the eyes:
- Home remedy: Cucumber slices contain antioxidants and have a cooling effect that can help reduce the appearance of dark circles. Place chilled cucumber slices over closed eyelids for 10-15 minutes.
