As you well know, especially in summer, it is important to protect our skin with SPF sun creams, which can protect us from UV rays and the unpleasant sunburn. As much as sun exposure – moderate and with the correct precautions – is important to prevent vitamin D deficiency, it is necessary to use protective products that can prevent skin damage.
Here is a list of the best commercially available sunscreens.
Many times, however, even sunscreens may not be enough; in fact, after a full day of sun exposure, our skin may suffer sunburn. Beware though, there is a remedy for everything!
We know a lot of them, especially natural ones, that can treat sunburn properly. From black tea to baking soda, oatmeal and essential oils. Natural sunburn treatment is always a good solution.
The effects of a sunburn fully manifest themselves after 24 hours, it all depends on the level of melanin in our skin. It is clear that for people with lighter skin, having less melanin, it is easier to get sunburn, as opposed to those with darker skin.
What are the natural remedies to treat these skin inflammations?
Although the easiest way to treat sunburn is to avoid it, we know many natural remedies to treat it. Cool water is one of the most effective methods to help the skin heal from sunburn, but avoid applying ice, which could cause more damage. Another remedy is baking soda, oatmeal and vinegar, which when added to a tub full of cool water can soothe these skin irritations. Don’t forget the moisturising cream, the skin must always be moisturised to avoid and minimise flaking. Drinking plenty of water, and wearing loose clothing made of natural fibres, are just other secondary remedies that can provide relief.
