The Best Methods for Sunburn Relief

Sometimes, even if we put on sunscreen or relegate ourselves to the shade, we are bound to get a little sunburnt. Whether we missed a spot or went too long without reapplying, it happens to the best of us. Then it becomes necessary to apply some sort of sunburn relief. There are plenty of products and home remedies meant to address this, so here’s a bit of a breakdown of the options available.

Cool Baths

Cool baths are the easiest and most common home remedy for getting sunburnt. It is often good to take frequent cool baths or showers in order to help relieve the pain. It’s important to remember that this must be in cool water, because even warm water will make it worse, let alone genuinely hot water. That’s not to say that cool water will heal the actual sunburn, but it will at least help with the pain itself. When you dry yourself, be sure to do so by patting yourself, not rubbing, with a soft towel. Getting sunburnt dries up your skin, after all, and rubbing your towel will dry it even further.

Medicine

Getting sunburnt doesn’t just cause your skin to dry up. It also causes swelling, redness, and discomfort. There’s no over the counter medicine that will actually or fully heal the sunburn itself, but there is some medicine that can ease the symptoms themselves. Aspirin or ibuprofen can help ease the effects of this swelling and this pain. Don’t rely too heavily on these however, because they can only do so much for you. It is often recommended to just take them when the pain and discomfort are too much. It’s better to apply stuff that directly heals your skin instead of helping you cope with the byproducts.
