You just spent the entire day on
the beach exposed to sunrays. You applied sunscreen but still got burnt. What
next? I have to admit that I have had countless sunburns. I do use a SPF of
30-55. The key to not getting burnt is reapplying. Also it is crucial to apply
it everywhere. Most people forget to apply sunscreen to their hands and feet.
It is important to know that your hands and feet age the fastest and sun damage
can give them an older look. When I do get sunburn especially on my face, I
usually take an antihistamine (usually Benadryl) right away. There have been
times when my eyes and legs became swollen from the exposure. I have really
sensitive skin and if you do to, you should consider taking one. Lotions and
aloes should be applied to the skin multiply times during the day. I can’t
stress the application of lotions and aloes enough because they soothe and
hydrate the skin. I think it is important that the lotions and aloe are basic
brands that don’t have lots of chemicals or fragrances that will irritate the
burnt skin. One of my favorite after sun gels that I use is the Mary Kay after
sun replenishing gel. I discovered this product while I was on vacation with my
boyfriend and his family. It really soothes and hydrates the burn. One bottle
usually last me one summer and this product isn’t that expensive ($12). The
only downfall to this product is that you have to find a Mary Kay consultant to
purchase the product. This product is not convenient enough to just drive to
the store when you’re burnt. You have to be prepared to buy it in advance. This
has been the only product I have found that is affordable and is able to
replenish my sun burnt. It doesn’t make my skin peel at all. If you haven’t
tried this product, it is a must! Another important method to healing is
drinking water. It will hydrate your skin and body. Let me know what you do to
cure sunburn. Post your comments below!
