Treating Sunburn

No matter how much our doctors harp at us about avoiding sunburn, some of us are going to end up with sunburn anyway. It might be because we forgot to apply our lotion. It might be because we stuck our arms out the open window of our car. It might be because we pay no attention to what our doctors tell us. We know people ignore what medicine teaches because there are still adult smokers.

Regardless of the reason, we get our sunburns, whether accidental or excuseless (like in my case) it’s good to know how to go about treating sunburn.

Before we get into the subject of treating sunburn, there are a few things that are important to know about the types of sunburn.

Types of sunburn

Treating sunburn step one




***If the burn covers a large part of your body or doesn’t respond to treatment, see a doctor. If an infant or small child has sunburn, particularly if it’s a second-degree burn, see a doctor. If you experience nausea, headache, weakness or other physical symptoms after a sunburn, see a doctor immediately. There have been deaths associated with severe sun exposure.

Treating sunburn step two

There are other remedies for sunburn, but the ones I’ve given you here are simple and effective. You, of course, know that the best remedy for sunburn is to protect yourself. If you do that, you won’t need to be treating sunburn. You’ll save yourself a lot of pain. Plus, you won’t have to endure the gift of ugliness that peeling skin gives. I’m not sure, but I think that’s our skin’s way of getting even for damaging it.

Oh, FYI, my favorite sunscreen is Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch SPF 45. I also use vitamin C serum on my face every other night at bedtime for added protection. I don’t burn easily and don’t have fair skin and I live in the Seattle area. I would probably use something stronger or avoid the sun altogether if I was more prone to burn, lived at a higher elevation or near the equator.

All you fair skinned divas, what’s your favorite sunscreen? How about you dark skinned goddesses? What is your favorite sunscreen? Share with us.

Now go have fun and relax.
