After Sun Exposure: Your Complete Recovery Guide

Despite our best efforts, sometimes sun exposure happens. Here’s your comprehensive guide to treating sun-affected skin and preventing further damage.

Immediate Response to Sunburn

1. Cool the skin

1. Avoid using ice directly on the skin, as it can cause further damage.

2. Apply a cool damp cloth or take a cold shower, avoid hot water which can increase discomfort

3. Gently pat your skin with a sift towel, avoid robbing it

2. Moisturize

1. Apply a gentle and hydrating lotion, aloe vera or speciality cream for sun damaged skin

2. Clinical research suggests topical application of aloe gel may speed burn healing. There also is evidence that treatment with aloe vera may reduce pain from burns.

3. Look for products without alcohol nor fragrance 

3. Stay hydrated 

1. Drink plenty of water and sport drinks to prevent dehydration and replenish electrolytes. This will help you heal more quickly,

4. Avoid Further Sun Exposure

To prevent further damage, stay out of the sun until the burn heals. If you must be outside, wear protective clothing and a wide-brimmed hat.

If your skin blisters, it means you have a second-degree burn. Avoid popping the blisters or peeling the skin, as this can cause infection. Let them heal naturally while keeping the area moisturized, as sunburn leaves the skin dry and fragile. Stay hydrated to support the healing process.
