Sunburnt? Menthol and Foam…

a29.6.18.jpg
Cindie Allen-Stewart of Mount Calm, Texas, shared photos of her back before and after the treatment.

Her suggested at-home remedy against sunburns makes use of menthol shaving cream, a method that apparently healed her badly burnt back within minutes.

In her before photo, Cindie's back is covered in a painful-looking sunburn, with the white outline of her bathing suit clearly visible on her red, burnt skin.

But in the after shot, there appears to be no trace left of the sunburn, as the MailOnline reports.

"First, buy you some menthol foam shaving cream. It has to be the foam and it has to have menthol in it. Next, apply the shaving cream on the burn. It may seem like it's a strange shaving ritual, but trust me! Don't rub it in, just let it sit on your skin," Cindie wrote. "It will start bringing all that heat out (you'll be able to feel it). Then, after about 30 minutes, the shaving cream will seem like it has dissolved in spots. It will seem like it's not as moist and a little dried out. You will feel as if you're becoming a little cold, at least on the sunburned part of your body. THAT IS A GOOD SIGN! Next, rinse it off in a lukewarm or cool shower or bath. It's just to get the residue off."

Cindie instructed her readers to repeat the treatment again the next day if needed, noting that two rounds are usually enough to make sunburns disappear.

Cindie's post has since gone viral, attracting 38,000 likes in just four days. It has also been shared more than 206,000 times in that same period.

Dr. Jessica Krant, a dermatologist in New York City, told the platform that menthol can help get rid of the heat from a sunburn because it evaporates fast, taking the heat away in the process.
