How to fix a sunburned face?

When the sun is strong outside, the skin will usually get sunburned. The skin may be allergic to ultraviolet rays, such as itching, peeling, redness and swelling. Sunburned skin must be repaired in time, such as with aloe vera gel and some skin care creams. It is recommended to take sun protection measures when going out, use sunscreen or a parasol. How to repair a sunburned face? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Aloe vera repairs skin

Everyone knows that aloe vera has a bactericidal effect, and using aloe vera can quickly calm damaged skin. Moreover, the ingredients in aloe vera can penetrate into the skin and whiten it, so using aloe vera is a good way to deal with sunburned face. Generally speaking, girls will choose to apply aloe vera gel, after all, aloe vera gel is an excellent product for after-sun repair. Of course, using fresh aloe vera at home will be more effective. Select an appropriate amount of aloe vera, remove the thorns and wash it clean, then apply aloe vera juice to the reddened areas of the face. This can soothe, calm and moisturize the skin, and also promote epidermal growth to whiten the skin.

2. Cucumber sheet mask

After sun exposure, the skin is not only damaged but also lacks moisture. In order to prevent the skin from darkening, you can use a cucumber mask to whiten it. The vitamins contained in cucumbers can effectively resist oxidation and can also calm the skin to relieve skin pain. We will cut the cucumber that has been cooled in the refrigerator into relatively thin slices and apply it on the facial skin. Remember to replace the cucumber in time when it becomes dry. This allows the skin to better absorb the active ingredients in cucumbers, thereby relieving the pain of sunburn and resisting free radicals on the skin to whiten the skin.

3. Cold compress with light salt water

Using cold compresses can shrink the capillaries on the skin, thereby quickly alleviating sunburn. Adding a little salt can effectively relieve skin pain and eliminate inflammation. In addition, cold compresses can also prevent enlarged pores, eliminate skin inflammation and effectively whiten the skin.

4. Apply loofah water

After the skin is sunburned, it is in a state of severe dehydration. In order to ensure the stability of the skin, you can use loofah. Remove the pulp from the loofah, squeeze it into juice and add appropriate amount of water. Then put it in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours and take it out. Apply it on the sunburned areas of the skin to effectively replenish the lost moisture. It can also enhance the skin's ability to lock in moisture to avoid dry and cracked skin, prevent skin peeling and enhance skin stability, thereby better soothing and whitening the skin.

5. Pay attention to health care after sun exposure

First, don’t rub your skin because the cuticle has been damaged. So just cover it with the towel and don't wipe it at the same time. Also try to avoid using products such as shower gel and facial cleanser when taking a bath.

Second, do not use ice cubes directly as it may cause frostbite. If the towel warms up, just pick it up, shake it and cover it again, or prepare a small bucket of ice water to soak the towel again at any time; wrapping ice cubes in a towel will be difficult to implement (for example, the ice cubes will fall out, water will keep dripping...).

Third, if the pain is severe, you can take painkillers or apply a small amount of steroids to the sunburned area to relieve the pain.

Fourth, if the sunburn is extensive and painful, it is recommended that you see a doctor immediately.

Fifth, do not use lotion, vaseline, or oil-based skin care products. The emulsifiers, penetration aids and preservatives in lotions may penetrate into damaged skin and cause pain; Vaseline and oil will suffocate the skin and prevent heat from dissipating. When sunburned, after-sun gel with simple ingredients is more important.

Sixth, avoid re-exposure to the sun. If re-exposure is necessary, it is recommended to use clothing and parasols as sun protection props; physical sunscreen lotions are more suitable.
