The American Academy of Dermatology (2020) recommends these 6 tips for treating a sunburn:

• Take frequent cool baths or showers to ease the pain
• Use a moisturizer that includes aloe-Vera to help sooth sunburned skin.
• Consider taking ibuprofen to help decrease swelling, redness and discomfort.
• Drink plenty of water to prevent dehydration
• If your skin blisters, let the blisters heal. Do not pop the blisters, as they will help protect your skin heal and protect you from infection.
• Protect sunburned skin while it heals by wearing clothes that cover skin when in the sun.



Remember that a result of skin getting too much exposure from the sun’s ultraviolet rays can affect long-lasting harm to the skin and increase your risk for getting skin cancer.
