Obviously the best way to deal with sunburns is to prevent them. But in the case where you weren’t able to avoid a sunburn, it’s important to know how to deal with it.
Sunburns are painful; soothe a burn by wrapping ice in a towel and placing in on the burn several times a day. This will reduce swelling and ease the burn. Also damp, cooled teabags will work as well.
Taking a pain reliever such as aspirin or ibuprofen will help to relieve sunburn pain and also reduce inflammation.
When your sunburn begins to peel, place aloe vera gel on the peeling area, this will soothe the burn and can help speed up the healing process. To relieve itching, apply a water based moisturizer.
For a great, non-greasy sunscreen try Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunblock.
