No matter how carefully we treat our skin, no one is immune from sunburn.
And since pharmaceutical products are rarely available to anyone all the time, folk remedies come into play.
It's time to find out whether kefir, sour cream, potatoes and other well-known folk remedies really help with sunburn.
