    How to Treat a Sunburn

    22 August 2022

    Getting a sunburn is very easy. Especially during the summer vacations, when you are lying on the beach and playing roulette wheel online. You get distracted or you just did not put on enough sunscreen. And already after some time, you feel the burn. The skin turns red after some time. Then the pain starts. You cannot touch this burned area. And it is constantly warm.

    How sensitive you are to the sun depends on your skin type. The lighter you are, the easier you burn. It also depends on your natural hair color. If you are a redhead, you are more sensitive.

    There are also different types of sunscreen. Depending on where you want to go, you need to choose the right one. So if you are going to spend the day at the beach, you do better choose 50. But then you will also get a worse tan. If you are going to town or a restaurant, 20 or 30 should be ok. Many celebrities and models apply this cream every day. Because it also slows down the aging process.

    It is especially dangerous on the beach. There it is sometimes windy and you do not really feel the heat. Because you also do not have as many clothes on as you do in the city.  Because you go into the water to cool off, you also lose your sunscreen. Especially when you are in the water, you have to pay more attention to the sun. Also, you may not feel the heat, but you can easily get burned when you are wet. So it is better not to stay so long and dry yourself in the shade. Then when you are dry, reapply sunscreen. And maybe wear a shirt and a hat. This is a perfect protection. It is advisable to get an umbrella to always have shade. Most beaches offer an umbrella for the whole day for a small amount. If you want to be more active, such as playing beach volleyball, it is better to wear a shirt so that your most sensitive areas are covered. This includes the shoulders and the entire upper body.

    Although all these tips will help you avoid sunburn, it can still easily happen.
