Five recipes to relieve redness and pain after sun exposure: First, cold compress nursing.
Cold compress helps to neutralize sunburn. When applying cold compress, you can put towels or clothes in cold water or refrigerator, take them out and twist them slightly (just don't drip water), and then apply them to your skin. When the water gradually evaporates, it will have a cooling effect and help control sunburn and pain.
Apply it 3-4 times a day for about half an hour each time. You can also cover saturated physiological saline or water with gauze, put it in the refrigerator to cool, apply it to the stinging part, and take it off in about 20 minutes, which can eliminate the burning sensation and help relieve the symptoms of skin redness and swelling.
Second, apply cucumber juice.
Apply cucumber juice to the painful skin for 10 minutes, and then cool it and penetrate into the skin, so that the pain will be relieved naturally. Cucumber juice is rich in water, and the vitamin C contained in it can enhance the skin's regeneration ability, not only replenish the water lost from the skin, but also treat the peeling phenomenon. Rinse your body with water after application.
Third, tea hot compress
Gently patting the sunburned area with a cotton ball dipped in tea can nourish the skin and reduce the burning sensation. Because tea contains tannic acid, it has a good effect of promoting convergence, reducing tissue swelling and reducing cell exudation, which is very useful for skin with mild sunburn and no skin exposure.
If the sunburn area is too large, you can also add strong tea to the washbasin and let the sunburned skin soak in water for a few more minutes, and the effect will be more significant.
Fourth, emulsion nursing.
It is also helpful to apply 1% hydrocortisone emulsion to the sunburned area. Apply it to the painful area 3-4 times a day. Don't wash it off immediately and leave it on the skin for 5-6 hours. It is better to use cold compress for the first time.
5. Apply aloe juice.
Apply aloe gel-like juice to sunburned skin and let the juice dry naturally. Aloe vera can not only help the injured skin recover faster, but also have the effect of reducing fever and cooling down immediately when the skin burns due to sunburn.
Pay attention to hygiene after sunbathing: don't rub your skin, because the keratin has been injured. So just cover the towel and don't wipe it. Try to avoid using shower gel, facial cleanser and other products when taking a bath.
Don't use ice directly, because it may cause frostbite. If the towel is hot, pick it up and shake it before covering it, or prepare a small bucket of ice water at any time to soak the towel; It's difficult to wrap the ice with a towel (for example, the ice will fall out and the water will keep dripping ...).
If the pain is severe, you can take painkillers or apply trace steroids to the sunburned area to relieve the pain.
If a large area of sunburn hurts, it is recommended to see a doctor as soon as possible.
Don't use lotion, vaseline or oil skin care products. Emulsifiers, penetration enhancers and preservatives of emulsion may penetrate into damaged skin, causing pain instead; Vaseline and oil can suffocate the skin and cannot expel heat. When sunburned, it is mainly gel with simple ingredients.
Avoid exposure again. If it is necessary to re-expose, it is recommended to use clothes and umbrellas as sun protection props. Sunscreen emulsion is more suitable for physical properties.
When peeling, let it fall naturally and don't tear it off (although it's hard to know, just like acne will definitely want to squeeze).
