Sunburns are bad! They can cause pain, peeling, and pre-mature aging of the skin in the form of wrinkles and age spots. By using sunscreen, wearing protective clothing, and seeking shade, you can prevent sunburns. The following tips are ways to ease the pain of sunburn and possibly lessen the damage: Keep it Cool: Apply cold compresses, such as a washcloth or towel dampened in cool water, to the sunburned skin or take a cool bath. Moisturize: After applying cold compresses or taking a cool bath/shower, soothe the skin by spreading on aloe or a moisturizing cream or lotion. Avoid products that contain alcohol, which can dry out the skin. Do this several times to lessen the peeling and flaking. It may be beneficial to use a cream or lotion with vitamin C and vitamin E. Also using a hydrocortisone cream for a couple of days can relieve discomfort. It is advised not to scrub, pick or peel your skin, or bust blisters. Hydrate: A sunburn pulls fluid to the surface of the skin and away from your body, so it is important to rehydrate your body with extra water, juice, and sports drinks for a few days. Evaluate the Damage: The majority of sunburns can be treated at home, but if the blistering burn covers 20% or more of the body, see a dermatologist. Always use sunscreen, cover up with hats and protective clothing, and try to stay out of the sun between 10 a.m. And 4 p.m.
