5 Sunburn Staples
With summer in full swing we are all storing our winter clothes and school supplies and hitting the outdoors. Hanging out by the pool, hiking, camping, beach trips, and going to theme parks are just a few things that summer allows us to do. With all these outdoor activities sunscreen is a factor that can't be compromised, with all the harsh sun rays and general health issues too much sun can bring. To avoid all this we slap on sunscreen and hope for the best.Unfortunately, sometimes we miss a spot and *dramatic music plays* we get sun burned! So what do we do? We pull out the staples of sun burn help!
1. After Sun- After your adventure slap on a cooling after sun lotion or gel to jump start the soothing process. It hydrates, moisturizes, and some I found to be very cooling. Aloe Vera is a major plus because it does wonders for the skin. Now reapplication is key here if you feel the sting coming up load more on. My favorite is the Max Block found in dollar tree!! One dollar for hours of relief, insane!
2. Tea bags- What a 2-for-1 deal! Make yourself a nice cup of tea to unwind and then take the used tea bag (make sure it's warm to the touch) and put it on a patch of sunburn. A black tea is what everyone recommends, I think chamomile works just as well.
3.Cleansing water- Weird one I know but trust me on this applying this on generously on a sunburned face helps up the hydration, skin flakes off less, and it feels AMAZING! Super cheap btw Simple has an amazing cleansing water for 5 dollars and change.
5. Hydration- you've basically cooked yourself in the sun. your skin is bound to be rough and dry so with all the tips above working on the outside, you have to hit the dehydrated insides as well. Drink lots of water to help your body's recovery!
