How to soothe a sunburn
Illustrations: Alex Mathers
1. If your kid had a little too much fun in the sun (and now has a sunburn to show for it), try this. Squeeze aloe vera gel (choose a product as close to pure as you can) evenly into an ice cube tray (use a tray with fun shapes, if you can find one, as they?re easier for little hands to grip).

2. Place filled tray on a flat surface in the freezer and let set for at least 30 minutes, or overnight for best results.
