What to do if your skin is sunburned? Here are some tips to repair it after sunburn

It is hot in the summer. If people are exposed to the sun for a long time without paying attention to sun protection, they are likely to get sunburned. The main symptoms of sunburn are redness, fever, and even peeling of the skin. Sunburned skin must be treated promptly, otherwise it will leave marks on our skin.

1: Cold compress helps neutralize sunburn. To apply a cold compress, put a towel or piece of clothing in cold water or the refrigerator, take it out and wring it slightly (just make sure there is no water dripping), then apply it to the skin. As the water gradually evaporates, it has a cooling effect, which helps control sunburn and pain. Apply 3-4 times a day, each time for about half an hour. You can also soak gauze with saturated saline or water, place it in the refrigerator until it cools, apply it to the stinging area, and remove it after about 20 minutes. This can eliminate the burning sensation and help reduce skin redness and swelling.

1: Dip a cotton ball in tea and gently pat the sunburned area. This can nourish the skin and relieve the burning sensation. Because tea contains tannic acid, it has a good astringent effect, can reduce tissue swelling, and reduce cell exudation. It is very effective for skin that is slightly sunburned but not flaky. If the sunburned area is too large, you can also add strong tea to a wash basin and soak the sunburned skin in the water for a few minutes. The effect will be more significant.

1: You can apply 1% hydrocortisone lotion on the sunburned area, which may also be helpful. Apply to the painful area 3-4 times a day. Do not wash it off immediately. Leave it on the skin for 5-6 hours. It is better to apply cold compress when applying for the first time.

1: Apply cucumber juice on the painful skin for 10 minutes. The coolness will penetrate into the skin and the pain will naturally subside. Cucumber juice is rich in water and the vitamin C it contains can enhance the skin's regeneration ability. It can not only replenish the moisture lost by the skin, but also treat peeling. Rinse your body with water after application.

1: Apply the gel-like juice in aloe vera to the sunburned skin and let the juice dry naturally. In addition to helping injured skin heal faster, aloe vera can also immediately reduce heat and provide cooling effect when the skin is burning and painful due to sunburn.

1: Make cold milk with equal parts milk, ice cubes and water in a bowl, soak a clean cloth with it and apply the cloth to the sunburned area for five minutes. Repeat three times. The fat, protein and pH of milk have a soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on the skin. In addition, lower temperatures can constrict blood vessels and relieve edema symptoms.

Foods rich in protein and fat can replenish the body's phosphorus, enhance the vitality of body cells, and accelerate cell growth.
