my cure for a sunburn is mustard

I used to get really bad sunburned on my face and shoulders when I was a teenager and my mom would spread regular yellow mustard from the store on it and let it dry. When it was dry the burn would be more like a tan. Works on burns up to second degree. She learned it from an old doctor in Lonoke, AR. It cools and sooths the burn, I still use it on my four children.
