Best After-Sun Care for Sunburnt Skin

Sometimes no matter how careful you are with your sun care routine you can still get sunburnt. It can happen when you miss a spot on your skin, when applying sunscreen , forgetting to reapply after swimming or even just falling asleep while sun baking. If you get sunburnt, try taking aspirin every four hours to lessen the inflammation, and apply a soothing after-sun lotion or gel. Use a formula that has aloe or menthol as this will soothe and cool down your skin. You can also try gels with lidocaine, a topical anaesthetic to help ease the pain.

Make sure once your skin has recovered to moisturize regularly with a fragrance-free moisturizer. This will help avoid your skin from flaking, as sun damage can dry out your skin.
