Here’s how to treat sunburn at home:
Give your body time to recover. Sunburn can be exhausting, so make sure you get plenty of rest. You can add a cup of white vinegar to your bathwater to help soothe sunburned skin.
Cucumber slices or a paste made from blended cucumber can have a cooling effect on sunburned skin. Honey has natural anti-inflammatory properties and can help with sunburn. Apply a thin layer of honey to the affected area.
Protect your sunburned skin from further sun exposure. Wear protective clothing and use sunscreen. When drying off after a bath, gently pat your skin dry with a towel instead of rubbing it, which can cause more irritation.
If you have blisters, don’t pop them. Blisters serve as a protective barrier for the damaged skin underneath. If you have severe sunburn with symptoms like chills, fever, or heat exhaustion, or if your sunburn covers a large area, it’s advisable to seek medical attention.
Wear loose, breathable clothing to prevent additional irritation to your sunburned skin. After the initial cool compress, keep your skin moisturized with a mild, fragrance-free lotion or a specially formulated sunburn cream.
Sunburn takes time to heal. Be patient and continue with these remedies for as long as needed. Treating sunburn at home involves soothing the skin, staying hydrated, and protecting yourself from further exposure.
Remember to apply sunscreen when heading outside to prevent future sunburns. If your sunburn is severe or accompanied by other symptoms, consult a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.
