Although Vaseline is a good moisturizer, it is a product that should be avoided in cases of sunburn. Creams that are good for sunburn are Aloe Vera-based creams. Thanks to their anti-inflammatory structure, they will contribute to the rapid healing of the burned area.

    Consume Plenty of Water

    Exposure to sunburn can cause water loss in the body. The skin, which loss water, may begin to dry out over time.

    Regardless of the degree of burned skin you have, you should never touch it. After sunburn, itching, skin redness, water blisters, skin dryness, crusting can be seen on the skin.

    A Misunderstood Practice: Don't Apply Yogurt on Burnt Surface

    Applying yoghurt to the burnt surface is one of the traditional practices for years. This practice, which is used as a traditional treatment method, is extremely wrong. As a matter of fact, applying yogurt to the sunburned area may only be useful when it is considered as an alternative to the cold compress method. At this point, it is not a recommended method as the bacteria in the yogurt may create the risk of infection. Therefore, it is not recommended to use yogurt or yogurt-based cures in cases of sunburn.

    Avoid Sun Exposure

    Those who have problems such as skin redness or burns on skin should not go out in the sun. On the other hand, when you need to go out in the sun, you need to be very well protected. Otherwise, the healing process of the related surface area can delay and new problems such as irritation and staining may occur in the surface area. If possible, you should not go out in the sun or take the necessary precautions if you go out in the sun.

    How to Treat Sunburn on Face?

    Problems such as skin redness, skin burns and staining caused by exposure to harmful sun rays can be in various parts of the body as well as in the face area. So much so that one of the most exposed areas to the sun is the face. Therefore, sunscreens for face should be used in addition to wearing sunglasses and a hat when it is sunny. In this way, it is possible to be protected from the harmful rays of the sun. If you don't take care of your skin or not take the necessary precautions, facial sunburns may occur due to exposure to the sun's rays. In this case, it is important to apply a cold compress to the face area, wash the face with cold water, drink plenty of water and benefit from moisturizing creams.
