What to do When You Get a Little Too Much Sun on Your Face
So you know how it goes - you're out enjoying the sunshine and suddenly you realize you've gotten a little (or a lot) too much sun on your face. No worries, I've got you covered with some tried and true tips for dealing with that pesky facial sunburn.
First things first, let's start with the minor burns. These are the ones that are a little pink and maybe a tad sore, but not too bad. Here's what you can do to soothe the burn and get some relief:
Take a cool bath or shower. Avoid hot water, as it will only make the burn worse.
Use aloe vera or a moisturizing lotion to hydrate your skin and provide some relief.
Drink plenty of water to help your body recover.
Now, if you're dealing with a more major sunburn (lots of redness and pain), it's important to take extra care to soothe your skin. Here's what you can do:
Take over-the-counter pain medication like ibuprofen to help with the discomfort.
Apply a hydrocortisone cream to reduce inflammation.
Avoid the sun until the burn has fully healed.
