What to do if the skin is sunburned

People's skin cannot be exposed to the sun because the sun's strong ultraviolet rays can damage people's skin. Lighter people may get tanned, or their sunburned skin may turn red. In severe cases, you may experience ultraviolet allergy, rashes or peeling symptoms. Therefore, in the hot summer, you must apply sunscreen before going out, and use aloe vera gel to care for sunburn in time. Let’s take a look at what to do if you get sunburned.

1. It will take three to six months for sunburned skin to return to normal, so do not expose it to the sun again in the short term.

2. Apply sunscreen before going out, even on a cloudy day. Remember to reapply after swimming or sweating profusely.

3. Wet compress: Apply wet compress to the skin with cold water, skim milk, aluminum acetate, oatmeal, and witch hazel solution to prevent excessive itching or dry skin.

4. Take a cold bath, soak in vinegar, sodium bicarbonate, etc., then pat the skin with a clean towel and dry the affected area to avoid skin irritation.

5. Use mild soap and rinse thoroughly.

6. Apply moisturizing lotion after bathing.

7. Use aloe vera anti-inflammatory cream and apply it directly to the affected area. You can wash your face with anti-allergic cleanser.

1/ For minor sunburn:

After sun exposure, the skin will be at a higher temperature. At this time, you might as well try applying cold compresses to the skin, using a wet cold towel about once every half an hour for four to five hours. Or take a cold shower, and then apply the nourishing, hydrating and soothing Yunzi After-Sun Soothing Cream, which can immediately replenish skin moisture, reduce redness and allergies, and calm and soothe hot and red skin. In addition, sun exposure will absorb a large amount of water in the human body, making the body prone to dehydration. Therefore, you should drink plenty of water to replenish the lost water. It can also alleviate the pain after sun exposure and prevent the skin from becoming too dehydrated. Do not wear makeup during this time.

2/For moderate sunburn:

In addition to the above treatment methods, you can also apply aloe vera juice to the sunburned area. Aloe vera has the effect of immediately reducing fever and cooling. You can also take aspirin as soon as possible; this anti-inflammatory medicine can reduce swelling of the skin and help relieve pain.

3/ For severe sunburn: If your sunburn causes pain, swelling, blisters, or even fever, chills, dizziness, nausea, etc. within twelve hours of exposure, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.
