Use standing medicine to quickly eliminate inflammation: If the symptoms of sunburn are serious, redness and pain are serious, you can take ibuprofen or aspirin immediately, and it will be effectively relieved soon.

Milk can relieve inflammation, and the cool touch can constrict blood vessels and help solve the problems of edema and redness.
Use some cortisone ointment when necessary: elders all know that white vinegar can effectively relieve severe redness, swelling, pain and edema after sun exposure, but it lasts for a short time, up to 20 minutes, and the sour taste is also torture to the nose, so the ointment containing 1% hydrocortisone is used instead, and the effect is very obvious. But after all, it is a hormone drug. If it is not particularly serious, try to avoid using it.
Soak in oatmeal cold water bath: oatmeal bath is especially suitable for repairing large areas of skin after sun exposure. You can buy the prepared oat bath products directly from the drugstore, or you can grind an oat paste with a blender and melt it in a bathtub with only cold water, so that your body can slowly adapt to the temperature of water, and then soak it comfortably for a while. Maybe you are more used to taking a hot bath, but it will feel like lying in a big bowl of porridge breakfast, which is not very comfortable.
Apply the essence of aloe: you must know something about the soothing effect of aloe. If you don't have fresh aloe, you can use aloe gel instead. Try to choose natural products without dyes to make them look green or blue. Just keep it in the refrigerator at ordinary times. It's cool and comfortable to use.
When female friends protect themselves from the sun in summer, most of them choose sunscreen, so do you know some precautions in the use of sunscreen? Let's take a look together.

The higher the value of 1.SPF, the longer the sun protection time: Generally, yellow skin can resist strong light 15 minutes without being burned, so the anti-ultraviolet products using SPF 15 can resist strong ultraviolet rays for about 225 minutes. SPF5-8 sunscreen products can be used for daily care and shopping, while SPF 10- 15 can be used for outdoor play. Use SPF20-30 waterproof sunscreen when swimming or sunbathing. When the exposure time exceeds the effective sun protection time, it should be supplemented in time.
2.SPF values cannot be accumulated: two layers of SPF 10 sunscreen are applied, and only one layer of SPF 10 has protective effect.
3. Don't apply sunscreen before going out: like ordinary skin care products, sunscreen takes a while to be absorbed by the skin. Therefore, it should be applied 10-20 minutes before going out.
4. Sunscreen is not effective when it is applied, but only when it reaches a certain amount: under normal circumstances, the amount of sunscreen applied to the skin is 2 mg per square centimeter to achieve the due sunscreen effect.
5. People with different skin types should choose different sunscreen products: oily skin should choose water-based sunscreen products with strong penetration; Dry skin should choose cream-like sunscreen products; Normal skin is generally not strictly regulated.
6. Use order of sunscreen: Sunscreen should not be used before makeup, but should be used after using skin care products.
Summary: It is hot in summer, and strong ultraviolet rays will cause harm to the skin. Although sunscreen can effectively prevent the sun, it is recommended that you wait indoors for a while before going out in the strong sunshine.
3. How to choose sunscreen
First, choose sunscreen oily skin should choose water-based sunscreen products with strong penetration; Dry skin should choose cream-like sunscreen products; Generally, there are no strict rules for neutral skin, and lotion sunscreen is suitable for all skin types. As we all know, sunscreen products have an SPF value, that is, SPF index, which is divided into 18 times, 25 times and 30 times. It used to be 40 times, but now the state prohibits production of 40 times. The higher the SPF index, the longer the protection time.
Second, different sunscreen products are suitable for different people. The best way is to try it on the inside of your wrist before buying it. If the skin becomes red, swollen, painful and itchy within 10 minutes, you have an allergic reaction to this product. You can try a product with a lower SPF than this one. If there is still a reaction, it is best to give up the brand's sunscreen.
Third, choose refreshing sunscreen products. You can gently apply the selected sunscreen products to the back of your hand or the tiger's mouth. If the skin can be absorbed quickly, it has no sticky and whitening feeling, and feels refreshing and moist, it can basically be considered as a qualified refreshing sunscreen product.
Fourth, because of the different oil secretion, the skin will change, and the skin test should be done again. For oily skin, choose water-based sunscreen products with strong penetration; For dry skin, you should choose cream-like and cream-like sunscreen products; Neutral skin has a wide range of selectivity. Emulsion and spray sunscreen are basically suitable for all skin types.
5. For people whose skin is oily and prone to acne, choose a refreshing and non-greasy emulsion product. Never use sunscreen products such as sunscreen oil and sunscreen. Pay special attention to whether the product is marked as non-comedogenic (will not cause acne). If you usually take antihypertensive drugs, diet pills or tranquilizers, you should choose sunscreen products with high SPF. Because people who take this medicine are easily allergic to light, it is necessary to improve the sun protection coefficient.
