First aid for sunburned skin

Wash off the salt:

After swimming and sunbathing at the beach, your skin will feel burning and painful. However, no matter how painful it is, you should wash your skin with clean water. This is because the salt in sea water will absorb the moisture in the skin and make it rough. Therefore, to maintain smooth skin, you must thoroughly wash off the salt on your body. When cleaning, cold water is best and avoid hot water.

Apply skin cream:

If it is only a minor sunburn, you can use a more moisturizing night cream or skin care cream to apply to the painful area; if it is a severe sunburn with blisters, it is best to see a doctor to prevent other skin infections.

Avoid Makeup:

After being sunburned, women should not put on makeup for the sake of beauty, because the skin is already inflamed at this time. Applying cosmetics will further irritate it, aggravate the condition, and slow down the recovery process.

Let dead skin fall off naturally:

If the surface of your skin starts to fall off, don't tear it off slowly because you feel itchy. Let the dead skin fall off naturally. Because skin peeling means that new skin has begun to grow. If the new skin has not fully grown, pulling off the dead skin with your hands will expose the ungrown delicate skin to air and sunlight too early, which will cause dark spots to form on the new skin.

Cucumber Juice

Cucumbers have skin-beautifying effects and it is common to see people covering their faces with cucumber slices to keep their complexion smooth and bright. After sunburn, you can apply cucumber juice on the painful skin for about 10 minutes. The coolness will penetrate 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. After applying, the body should be rinsed with water.

Aloe Vera Protein

The natural therapeutic effect of aloe vera can remove blood stasis and reduce inflammation. Applying aloe vera pulp on the skin has analgesic and skin-beautifying effect. If you mix aloe vera with egg white and honey, you can use it as a facial mask. The paste has stronger strength and will not drip. The entire facial mask process takes about 15 to 30 minutes, then wash your face with water. Egg whites are rich in protein, which helps skin growth.

Watermelon Rind Honey

Some people use watermelon rind to make soup, which has a refreshing effect. After exposure to the sun, you can mash watermelon rind into juice, mix it with honey and use it as a facial mask, or apply it to the injured area. It can also reduce the swelling, pain and peeling of sunburned skin. The vitamins, glucose and fructose in honey can moisturize and whiten the skin, and also have bactericidal and disinfecting effects, which can heal wounds as soon as possible and restore the skin to smoothness.

Tomato Kiwi

In addition to external application, you can also drink tomato and kiwi juice to cool down and eliminate dryness and heat. These two fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamin C, have antioxidant properties, and can whiten the skin. In addition, the moisture in fruits and vegetables can replenish the moisture lost by the skin after exposure to the sun and restore the skin's elasticity.
