Protection In The Sun - What To Do When You Get A SunBurn

Protect Now For The Future

We heard this so many times, USE SPF!! We get it, well some don't! I am the victim of couple of sunburns. We all at some point in time will get a sun burn, so let me tell you how I cope with mine!

 

First day you get burned:

-Apply sour cream on your body. Yes sour cream. It gives your skin cool effect and cools down your burn.

- Take cool showers. Don't take HOT showers because that will only increase your body temperature and you need to cool your body temperature.

- Drink lots of cold water. Your body needs lots of H2O

- Wear loose clothing which means no jeans or anything hot and tight.

Day two:

- Repeat all of the things like day one during the day

- At night wash your body with soft was cloth and body lotion for dry skin. Your need to moisturize your skin as much as possible

- Apply thick moisturizing lotion and let dry

Day three:

-Repeat previous day and until your skin starts getting better and the burn will be gone

- Most likely you will start peeling. Try not to pear the skin that is pealing...it can leave scars.

 ITS SIMPLE! BUT PLEASE USE SPF, even when you run errands!
