Second: cold compress. Apply cold compresses according to the severity of your sunburn. If it is just a mild sunburn, the best way is to use a cotton pad dipped in lotion and apply it alternately. If you have been severely sunburned, it is best to cool it in the refrigerator before applying the mask for better results. Cold compress is best, apply for half an hour each time, two to three times a day.

Third: Watermelon cures sunburn. Watermelon can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, while watermelon rind is very effective in treating sunburn. Gently apply the watermelon rind on the sunburned area, and you will find that the moisture in the watermelon rind is quickly absorbed by the skin. The best way is to cut the watermelon rind into small thin slices and apply it to the sunburned area, changing the watermelon rind every five to ten minutes. If the sunburn is severe, it is best to choose iced watermelon rind. Do this for about a week and you will see obvious results.

Fourth: whitening and moisturizing. Do not perform any whitening actions during sunburn. In particular, ready-made whitening masks are more or less irritating to the skin.
