What are the methods for after-sun repair?

When it is hot in summer, people always play outside wearing very revealing clothes, and many people do not do enough to protect themselves from the sun, or even ignore the steps of sun protection. When the sun is very strong, it can cause great damage to our skin. Redness, swelling and peeling are very common sun damage. So what are the methods for after-sun repair? Let me show you about it today.

Even if you have done enough sun protection before going out, your skin still cannot avoid sunburn. You can follow the following methods to deal with sunburn:

Early treatment for sunburn: cold compress

Apply cold compresses according to the severity of your sunburn. If it is only a mild sunburn, you can use a cotton pad dipped in lotion or tea to apply it. If it is a severe sunburn, it is best to put it in the refrigerator to cool it down before applying it for better results.

Mid-term treatment of sunburn: cucumber juice, aloe vera juice repair

Use cucumber juice to hydrate dehydrated skin, and after cooling down, use aloe vera to make a facial mask, which has anti-inflammatory, whitening and analgesic effects;

Post-sunburn repair: hydration and whitening

Apply whitening and moisturizing products to retain moisture and supplement vitamins.

Do not wash your face with hot water after sun exposure: If you have been outside in the sun for a day and then wash your face with hot water, it will be like being burned by hot water. Only cold water can shrink the pores, cool the skin, and achieve the effect of reducing heat and redness. Using hot water will cause the capillaries to dilate and become congested, resulting in patches of redness and even sun spots.

Shower method: As long as you have engaged in outdoor activities, no matter how much sun exposure you have, when you get home, soak your whole body with water, apply a soothing, cooling shower gel, rinse off the foam with warm water, and then rinse with cold water. After you shower, you can apply some body care products. Or wrap ice cubes in a towel and apply it to the hot skin to relieve the uncomfortable feeling of heat.

Next time you go out, remember to apply sunscreen 20 minutes before going out, bring a parasol or wear sun-protective clothing. Reapply sunscreen every 3 hours or so to ensure you don't get sunburned.

Through the above introduction, I believe everyone has a certain understanding of the methods of after-sun repair. If your face has red spots after sun exposure, you can use chilled cucumber slices to apply on your face. It works very well and there is no burning sensation. So everyone must do a good job of sun protection and don’t wait until you get sunburned to repair it.
