Home Remedies For sunburn

Sunburn is the skin's response to overexposure to the ultraviolet (UV) rays of the sun. The skin becomes pink or red and may feel tight and dry. It may become sore and swell with inflammation. In severe cases, the skin may blister and peel. Although sunburned skin often turns into a suntan, it is important to remember that anytime the skin burns or tans, it has suffered damage. Sunburns, particularly severe ones, can predispose a person to developing skin cancer later in life.

SUNBURN HELPFUL TREATMENTS

When it comes to sunburn, prevention and precaution are more important than treatment. Minimize exposure to the sun, especially during the midday hours between 10:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M., when the sun is strongest. Apply a sunscreen to all exposed skin thirty minutes before going outdoors. When swimming or exercising, reapply sunscreen frequently. Cover as much of your body as possible with protective clothing. Wear a hat and sunglasses that filter out UV rays. After spending time in the sun, apply after-sun products to reduce the drying effects the sun has on your skin.

If you do develop sunburn, home remedies can help relieve some of the discomfort and minimize the damage to your skin. Chamomile, eucalyptus, helichrysum, lavender, patchouli, and peppermint oils are especially helpful for soothing sunburn pain and cooling burned skin. Bathe in a Sunburn- Soothing Bath as soon as possible to help draw out the heat from your sunburn. To relieve sunburn pain and the dry, tight feeling, and to discourage peeling of the skin, apply Lavender Sunburn Oil or Sunburn Relief Skin Oil to the affected areas several times daily.
