Hi mub, I haven’t tried the vinegar for sunburn. Aloe directly from the plant has been the best natural sunburn soother that I’ve found, but I’m intrigued with all of the multiple uses of vinegar. Thanks for visiting.

I hadn’t realized that vinegar helped soothe sunburns, I need to remember that!

Hi Sarah, I haven’t tried plain yogurt. I’ve also heard it is good for soothing sun burn. Thanks for the suggestions.

Plain yogurt makes a nice cleanser for oily skin. Lemon juice and water make a nice astringent.

Denise, congratulations on eliminating chemical cleaners. I will try the vinegar hair rinse, especially since we have hard water.

sogbirdtiff, I am certainly finding increasing interest in this as well.

Thanks for visiting.

Vinegar makes a great hair rinse for extra shine too.

We too have eliminated chemical cleaners from our house, and I find baking soda, vinegar, lemon juice take care of everything just fine.

Dr Bronners’ castile soap is great for household cleaning and for personal use!
