How many times have you ruined your vacation because of a sunburn? Spending too much time in the sun can make your skin red and painful, it can cause blisters, infections and make your life a living hell.

Cover your skin, use sunscreen with 30 SPF or higher to avoid spending your holiday in your room. However, if you already haven’t been careful and got sunburned, doing these things will help your skin heal as fast as it can.

Stay out of the sun

Rest in your air-conditioned room for a couple of days and drink lots of liquid (water, sports drinks, fresh juice) to stay hydrated.

Take baths and showers

A cool shower will cool your sunburned skin. Also, you can make soothing baths by using natural ingredients, such as oatmeal, apple cider vinegar, baking soda, lavender or chamomile essential oil. You can harm your already dried and painful skin by using soaps and shower gels. They can dry your skin even more.

Lubricate yourself

It is always better to use natural products on your skin, especially on your sunburnt skin. Milk or yogurt will create a protein film that helps ease sunburnt discomfort. It isn’t the most pleasant smelling product, but it will surely make your life easier. Lotions made out of Aloe Vera will moisturize your skin. Cucumbers, boiled and mashed potatoes and cornstarch will help soothe the sunburn.
