What are the dangers of sunburned skin

If sunburned skin is not treated in time, it is easy to leave some skin problems due to sunburn. Sensitive skin is not always congenital. Many cases are caused by improper use of skin care products or sunburn. Normal skin cannot withstand exposure to the scorching sun and will turn red or peel, so some sun protection measures must be taken. Next, let’s take a look at the dangers of sunburn to the skin!

There are many dangers of sunburn, and the more times you get sunburned, the more harmful it is. The more serious the damage. Generally speaking, human cells will repair themselves after being damaged. If there is no natural repair or the natural repair ability is weak, if human cells mutate, it is possible to develop skin cancer, which is especially likely to occur in the elderly.

People with hereditary skin diseases are more likely to develop skin cancer after repeated sunburn. For example, people with xeroderma pigmentosum cannot repair themselves naturally after being sunburned. Repeated and cumulative sunburns can cause skin cancer. Therefore, people with a genetic background for skin diseases should avoid sunlight and sun protection in the summer, because their chances of developing solar skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., are much higher than those without a genetic background.

Cucumbers have skin-beautifying effects and it is common to see people covering their faces with cucumber slices to keep their complexion smooth and bright. After sunburn, you can apply cucumber juice on the painful skin for about 10 minutes. The coolness will penetrate the skin and the pain will naturally subside. Cucumber juice is rich in water and the vitamin C it contains can enhance the skin's regeneration ability. It can not only replenish the moisture lost by the skin, but also treat peeling. After application, rinse with water.

Boiling soup with watermelon rind has a refreshing effect. After exposure to the sun, you can mash the watermelon rind into juice, mix it with honey to make a facial mask, or apply it to the injured area. It can also reduce the swelling, pain and peeling of sunburned skin. The vitamins, glucose and fructose in honey can moisturize and whiten the skin, and also have bactericidal and disinfecting effects, which can heal wounds as soon as possible and restore the skin to smoothness.

The above are some of the damages that may be caused by sunburn to the skin. Sunscreen can make the skin more resistant to the sun and avoid tanning to a certain extent, but it does not completely prevent tanning. You must be careful when using sunscreen. It cannot be applied directly on the face. You should use some lotion products in advance and reapply every four hours.
