Summer is calling. Beach vibes. Tan lines. Cold-breezy drinks. A cool dip in the water. Laughter on the poolside.

Indeed, summer is a dream come true & positivity is there as much as the sun is up. However, all these dreams can turn into a painful nightmare once you get a SUNBURN!

Yes, our blog post will be about sunburns. We will discuss what is a sunburn, how to treat it, and how to prevent it from happening.

What is a sunburn?

When you get sunburnt, is technically when the Ultra Violet light messes up with your skin. In other words, it is when UV, causes inflammation, redness, and swelling. In this case, not only the skin gets affected but also fatigue, dizziness, and headache might happen if the sunburn is severe.

Of course, a certain percentage of people is at a higher risk of getting a sunburn than others. Usually, people with fair skin get sunburnt. In addition to that, those who have a job that requires them to work outdoors, and people who are regularly exposed to UV light (tanning beds) have a higher chance of getting sunburnt.

How to treat a sunburn?

There are different ways one can heal from sunburn. Though the redness might stay for days, but the pain can be reduced by consulting your dermatologist and through certain home remedies.

• First and foremost, consult your dermatologist.
• Stay in a room where air circulation is clear and healthy.
• Have cool baths, but avoid applying ice directly to the skin.
• Refrain from using cooling products, because they contain an element called mentha that causes irritation when having a sunburn.
• Moisturize the skin with products such as Aloe Vera-based moisturizers and do not use moisturizers that contain mentha, essential oils, and fragrances. These elements cause annoyance to the skin when sunburnt.
• Take pain relief pills, in case of headache, fever, or fatigue.

How to Prevent a Sunburn?

Our skin needs to be protected from UV light not only in summer but all year long. The more one supports the skin with care and delicacy the better skin texture, health, and strength one gets.

• Avoid the sun at peak hours.
• Sunscreen should be your best friend (an SPF of at least 30. Constantly applied on the skin).
• Choosing the right attire for sunny days (clothes that cover the body and that are made of woven fabric or cotton).

Plan to make this summer and every summer a space where you radiate and glow with healthy skin. Ensure you are not missing out on all the fun and breezy beach vibes. Most importantly, stay posted on what our newsletter will be carrying, from news to trends, and more!
