Because sunburn happens, right?
Caught the sun by surprise? Find out how to treat sun-scorched skin quickly July 02, 2019 - 16:27 BST Fiona Ward We've all been caught out in the sun at some point, right? Despite our best intentions slathering on the SPF, covering up and staying in the shade when we can, chances are we'll all suffer from a little sunburn at some point.
Cool the area Get out of the sun as soon as possible - a cold shower or cold flannel will help cool the skin and reduce irritation. If you can, sitting in front of a fan as you apply moisturising lotion or Aloe Vera will help the skin settle, too.Get the right products Make sure the area is well moisturised to prevent scabs forming and flakiness.
Don't use Vaseline! A common myth is that petroleum jelly is good for sunburn - but it will only trap heat in the skin. It's best to avoid anything very thick, greasy or oily.Take care when showering When you shower, don't let the stream of water fall directly on the affected area. Hygiene should of course be observed, but avoid scented soaps, cosmetics and perfumes. Don't apply ice or ice packs directly to the skin, either! Wrap them in a clean dishcloth or towel.
Drink plenty of water You need to replace lost fluids, so make sure that glass of water is regularly re-filled.Avoid the sun while your skin heals Make sure you don't forget the suncream a second time, wear a hat and always carry a light wrap to cover up if the sun is brighter than you realised. Up your SPF factor, too - we like Ultrasun's SPF 50+ .
Wear loose clothing While your skin heals, avoid tight clothing that will irritate and even heat the area. Loose-fitting, flowing clothes are your friend! Don't fuss with your sunburn Aside from applying product, try not to scratch or touch the affected skin too much - if it starts to peel, don't try to remove the flakes. Don't be tempted to pop any blisters, either.
