Each of us at least once in our lives tried to sunbathe diligently to get a beautiful tan, but returned from the beach with a sunburn. Like other burns, it is accompanied by redness of the skin, blisters, pain, severe burning and an increase in body temperature. If you want to quickly relieve the unpleasant symptoms of excessive tanning, but there are no medications at hand, use these remedies.
Cooling compress
To quickly cool down inflamed skin, apply an ice pack wrapped in a soft cloth or gauze, or a clean towel soaked in cold water. This will relieve pain and reduce some of the redness. You can also take a cold shower, but do not use detergents, as these can cause irritation.
Aloe juice gel
Aloe vera gel helps to relieve inflammation and skin irritation, as well as reduce dryness. In addition, thanks to its antibacterial properties, aloe vera can speed up the process of skin regeneration after a burn. Before applying the gel, you can briefly put it in the refrigerator, then it will also have a pleasant soothing effect.
Cucumbers
Another great way to quickly cool and moisturize sunburned skin is to use a cucumber compress. Like aloe gel, cucumbers should be placed in the refrigerator or freezer for 7-10 minutes before use.
Herbal decoction
To relieve the symptoms of sunburn, decoctions of calendula, chamomile, and St. John's wort are suitable. They have almost no contraindications, but they relieve inflammation, pain, and itching well. A compress with strong and necessarily cold black tea can also help to cope with unpleasant sensations.
Moisturizing cream
Be sure to moisturize your skin regularly after getting sunburned. Otherwise, it will dry out and peel, which will cause even more inflammation and unbearable itching. It is best to use moisturizing cream-gels with a light texture.
