By David Martin


You need to protect your skin when it is exposed to direct sun light, and it really doesn't matter how tanned you already are. You can still get sunburned, and this is not only highly uncomfortable, but it can also be dangerous. If you need some advice about how to heal sunburn, here are some little tips that you might find useful.

First signs of redness on some area should be noticed. As soon you notice them, you should take a shower, where there is a possibility for it, or rinse these areas with water. After that, apply your sun cream and put your hat on, as well as some comfortable clothes. Spend the rest of the day in the shade, to avoid further damages. Wearing a hat is always a very good idea, by the way, especially if you have really sensitive skin.

Once you come home, take a cold shower and leave the skin to dry naturally, without using a towel. Depending how serious your sunburns are, you might be having blisters on some area. If you do, apply a generous amount of mild moisturizer, containing aloe vera and, if it is really needed, protect the skin with a gaze. Take frequent showers to ease the pain and discomfort.

When it comes to aloe vera products, choose those with no fragrances added. Pay special attention to a presence of components finishing with -caine, especially benzocaine. Avoid buying and applying such products. For this particular purpose, your moisturizer should be as natural as possible, to avoid possible side effects and allergies. Aloe vera is great for treating skin damages.

Take a pain killer or a simple aspirin to ease the pain and reduce the swelling. Wear some comfortable clothes and stay out from the sun. Drink as much water as you can, but avoid drinking any other liquids, except maybe freshly squeezed juice. Any alcohol is strictly forbidden because it will certainly make things worst.

There are some home remedies that might also be quite helpful. For damages without blisters, try applying cold yogurt on, or maybe sour cream, if you don't have yogurt. Hold it there for some time, and then rinse. Slices of fresh cucumber act reduce swelling, and cool the skin. Remember to take a shower, do not rub skin with a towel and apply moisturizer frequently.

After taking a shower, you may also apply a little bit of pure almond oil on it, while it is still wet. Almond oil helps skin regeneration and moisturize it. High quality olive oil might have similar benefits for your skin. In any case, take an aspirin or ibuprofen, drink water and rest. Remember to wear really comfortable clothes.

Avoid spicy food and fats for a day or two. Instead, eat lots of fresh vegetables and fruits, drink large amounts of water and if you need a snack, choose any kind of nuts instead of sweets. This way you will get enough vitamins and minerals, as well as liquids, to help you organism to recover.
