Got Sunburned Despite Your Best Efforts?
July 11, 2016
Take every precaution to avoid getting a sunburn—but if it does happen these tips from the American Academy of Dermatology can help offer relief!
- Take cool baths or showers and as soon as you get out gently pat yourself dry but leave a little bit of water on the skin. Apply moisturizer to help trap the extra water in the skin.
- Use a moisturizer that contains aloe vera or soy.
- Aspirin or ibuprofen can help reduce any swelling, redness and discomfort.
- Drink extra water.
