How to prevent sunburn?

The skin is a very sensitive part of our body. If we don't pay attention in life, it will easily lead to some skin problems, such as common sunburn or acne, which will seriously affect our image. Once the skin is sunburned, dark spots and pain are prone to appear, which are often unacceptable to people who love beauty. As long as we do a good job of prevention in daily life, we can avoid sunburn. Let's learn about how to prevent sunburn.

How to prevent sunburn?

Regular outdoor exercise can make the skin produce melanin to enhance the skin's sensitivity to sunlight. Patients with strong sensitivity to sunlight should try to avoid sunlight exposure. When going out, they should take protective measures such as holding an umbrella, wearing a straw hat, gloves, etc. They can also use some sun-shielding agents externally: such as reflective sunscreen, 15% zinc oxide ointment; 5% titanium dioxide emulsion; 5% para-aminobenzoic acid emulsion or tincture; 10% salo ointment, etc., which can be applied to the exposed skin 15 minutes before exposure.

If a sunburn occurs, it should be treated immediately. Treatments include:

Use ice water for cold wet compresses or non-condensing cold medicine for emergency skin care; apply calamine lotion, zinc oxide or Fu Qing Lei cream externally; if necessary, take chlorpheniramine, prednisone orally and take corresponding symptomatic treatment at the same time. Generally, symptoms begin to subside and the patient will recover after two or three days of treatment.

Sunburn is a phototoxic reaction of the skin, which has a great impact on the skin and will accelerate skin aging, making the skin rough, thickened, and dull, coarsening the skin texture, and causing wrinkles and spots to appear earlier. Therefore, be careful of the ultraviolet rays in the sun to prevent sunburn.

Method: Apply watermelon rind on sunburned arms and rub repeatedly. Soon, the juice of the watermelon rind will be absorbed by the dehydrated skin. If you repeat this process many times, the symptoms of sunburn will be greatly alleviated. If you use a scraper to scrape the watermelon rind into thin slices and apply it on sunburned skin, it will help the skin to fully absorb the watermelon juice.

Principle: Since watermelon peel contains vitamin C, it has anti-inflammatory and whitening effects when applied to the skin, so it can treat sunburned skin.
