SOS sunburn

As soon as a sunburn appears, the first thing to do is to cool the burn with cold water to reduce the feeling of heat, reduce inflammation and relieve pain. The cold works by constricting blood vessels in the skin, which can reduce swelling and irritation . This also helps slow the progression of sunburn damage.

• Apply cold cucumber compresses. Cucumber is refreshing and has anti-inflammatory properties. Cut slices of fresh cucumber and place them in the refrigerator for a few minutes. Next, apply the cold cucumber slices to your face, leaving them on for 10 to 15 minutes. Cucumber helps reduce inflammation and soothe your skin.
• Make herbal infusions. Certain plants like chamomile, calendula or lavender can have soothing properties for the skin. Prepare an infusion by infusing these plants in hot water, let cool, then apply the liquid to the skin using compresses.
• Spray a thermal mist throughout the day on sunburned skin to provide relief. Our tip? Leave your thermal mist in the refrigerator for an extra feeling of freshness.
• Take a bath with oatmeal. Oatmeal is a natural ingredient that can help soothe irritated skin with its anti-inflammatory properties. Add a cup of oatmeal to a lukewarm bath and stay in the water for 15 to 20 minutes.
