And don’t forget your sunhat; with any luck you’ll actually have to wear it. Alternative remedies for sun protection: Belladonna 30c is a homeopathic remedy and may help with dry, red-hot, throbbing skin or if you’ve got sunstroke. Aloe vera gel and calamine lotion are good at cooling skin down too.
