What soothes sunburn?

Summer is all fun and games, until you step outside for too long without reapplying sunscreen. You know the drill – that redness sets in followed by blistering skin or flaking of your body.

Sunburns are not just painful; they can make your life miserable, leaving your skin feeling like it’s on fire. While painkillers might be one quick solution to ease the pain, there are more natural ways you can use to soothe a sunburn quickly.

Know what causes Sunburn

Before we delve into how you can get relief from sun damage lets first understand what causes it:

Have you heard of UV rays? They’re everywhere around us! The stronger ones come under our skin and cause damage when we don’t protect ourselves while being out enjoying with friends or family. When UVA are hitting your body unprotected then it leads (over time) to permanent aging which means wrinkles!

UVB rayscan penetrate through colder climates but stay where people usually snack through swimsuits etc., causing actual outer layer burn symptoms such itching/prickling sensations after exposure.

Long gone are those days when people believed basking under direct sunlight brought positive vibes only! Now that we’ve established why sun protection is important let’s look at some solutions when dealing with excessive sun exposure / burning:

Tomatoes

You read right! It hasn’t been common practice thus far but rubbing half cut tomatoes on affected areas is known as an organic alternative remedy with immediate effects. Apparently lycopene in them have proved ideal inflammation inhibitor properties.

Tip: Keep tossing tomatoes as part of meals often than simply making salads to reduce susceptibility to intense other effects due to over-exposure since cherry tomatoes were not enough.

Stay Hydrated

We cannot stress this fact enough- hydration helps your body internally + externally in many ways! Drinking plenty of water (even before sun exposure) is ideal for your body but also make good use of the opportunity to engage + indulge in hydrating products such as aloe vera juice or fruit/vegetable smoothies.

Why? Because they’re laden with Vitamin C and beta-carotene that aids combat redness induced by the superficial layer burn.

Tip: Once you have avoided direct sunlight, try applying lotion made up primarily from ingredients like trees and fruits. Some effective components include shea butter carrot oils which fade pigmentation away so fast these areas can miraculously turn normal very rapidly!

Cool bath

When things are intense, it’s time to lighten the mood quite literally- immerse each part affected separately through drawing moderately cool baths infused with uncommon items. This dramatically reduces redness and its associated itching sensation soon after soaking for 10-15 minutes uninterrupted.These substances could be:

  • Epsom salts
  • Lavender oil
  • Oatmeal

Keep stirring mixture till desired temperature & smell is reached then carefully step-in submerging yourself making sure not too agitate reddish skin too hard otherwise pain will kick right back.

Cold compresses

If immersing isn’t enough consider putting cold wet towels on damage patches intermittently – this actually helps reduce blood flow hence inflammation rates slowly drop making blistered portions feel more comfortable. You could even add sliced cucumbers when chilled since their rich water content has soothing effects

Cotton balls dipped warm milk salt solution can quickly heal suffered spots, impressively disinfect others too whilst balancing skins ph levels all simultaneously.Typically applying for 5 minutes at different intervals than it would take performing just one activity longer meaning multi-tasking

For any pimple looking marks spattering apple cider vinegar every couple hours ensures lighter patchy appearance gets visible quickly enough that one wonders if it never happened in the first place!

Over the counter rememdies

When all else fails you can try using over-the-counter solutions as they are specially formulated to work on sunburns.These creams and lotions numb down stingy sensations, cool skin when applied correctly and usually offer long-lasting relief.

Example of ingredients that lend themselves well include
– Lidocaine
– Hydrocortisone cream

Additionally antihistamine medication for excessive itching sensation could have a notable effect & low doses rarely interact with others.

In conclusion take good care of yourself. Now that we’ve established why uva+b rays cause permanent damage + how it presents externally, let’s be responsible by equipping ourselves vetting out our options until we strike gold instead ignoring these teachings.to learn tricks which will appeal most sequestered needs largely subject speculation – any solution works differently from one individual another’s thus doing what worked once for someone might not neceassrily guarantee your freedom this time. However those seeking comfort points during healing process having learned few natural tips would want say “baby steps better than no strides at all”!.
