- Got a Sunburn or Sun Burn? This video is about How To Treat A Sunburn. Sunburn Remedies. Sunburn Treatment. Sunburn Relief.
Sunburn is red, hot and sore skin caused by too much sun. It may flake and peel after a few days. You can treat it yourself. It usually gets better within 7 days and hope this video helps you.
HOW SERIOUS IS SUNBURN:
Sunburn is serious, so serious in fact that by just getting it once every 2 years you can actually triple your risk of melanoma skin cancer. So it’s super important that you protect yourself from getting it in the first place.
Please remember sunburn isn't just when the skin peels, is blistered or raw. It’s also classified as sunburn if your skin has gone pink or just irritated while you're in the sun.
SUNBURN TREATMENT:
• Get out of the sun straight away and preferably go indoors.
• Take frequent cool showers or cool baths and this going to help relieve the pain. Once you’re done please don’t dry yourself vigorously with a towel, you need to be gentle so pat your skin dry but leave a little moisture on the skin and then apply moisturiser to help trap the water.
• Generally speaking you can use any moisturiser but Aloe Vera based ones are said to be more soothing as they have a cooling effect but if you don’t have it use any moisturiser the more often you use it the better. Just make sure your moisturiser doesn't contain Benzocaine or any ingredient in this family ending in Caine as they can irritate the skin and cause allergic reactions.
• For small areas of the skin which are very uncomfortable a mild topical steroid cream like hydrocortisone can also be used. You can pick this is up from any pharmacy but please do not use it on your face, speak to your pharmacist first to check your safe and suitable to use it and always read the information leaflet that comes with it. For more information on how to use a steroid cream properly: • How To Use Steroid Cre...
• Increase your water intake for this period of recovery from sun burn because if you don’t you're going to be at risk of dehydration.
• If your skin does blister please speak to your doctor or healthcare professional and do not pop or scratch them, when our skin blisters from sunburn this is a sign of a second degree burn and the reason I’m telling you not to pop these blisters is that they play a part in one helping your skin heal and two protecting your skin from infection.
PREVENTING SUNBURN:
You need to make sure your using a sunscreen often and correctly with a suitable UVA and UVB protection.
Now I know that buying sunscreens can be a little tricky, so not long ago I made a video about how to chose the best sunscreen, how to use it and tips to protect yourself. So if you haven't seen it I’d highly recommend you watch it and become a sunscreen pro - • Sunscreen | Sun Cream ...
WHEN TO SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION:
You should see your doctor or healthcare professional urgently if,
• Your skin is blistered or swollen
• Your temperature is very high, or you feel hot and shivery
• You feel very tired, dizzy and sick
• You have a headache and muscle cramps
• Your baby or young child has sunburn
Severe sunburn can lead to heat exhaustion and heat stroke, which can be very serious. The NHS have a very useful article on this topic which I would highly recommend everyone reads and learns more about: www.nhs.uk/conditions/heat-ex...

Hey!! I am allergic to sun and cant even go out for 5 min .. is there any treatment for sun allergy??
Amazing vid. If I get sunburnt I can’t wear sunscreen 🧴 because I get allergic reaction. I can wear normal cream then. Is tanned the same?
Thanks for commenting Salandal Fatima - Hope my video helps, the most important thing is to protect your skin from the sun. A tan still means the sun is damaging your skin. Sending awesome vibes :)
I went from a weird tan line to a striped see bass LMFAO my shoulders hurt so much
I just got back from visiting my fam 11 hours away and came back with sunburn on my face and arms
Thanks for commenting Lauren, hope my tips help and please make try your best to prevent it from happening in the future as you now know the risk. Sending awesome vibes :)
I have drug induced lupus so I have to be careful anyway. On holiday I put sun cream on factor 50 regularly topping up, same with at home otherwise I won’t just get sunburn I’ll get a side of lupus rash. My lupus has got to my joints before now too.
He had to call me out in the first step because I'm full of sunburns and a hot shower and I watched this video after I took a shower
Hope my tips help and get well soon
@@AbrahamThePharmacist can we use aloe vera
Another thing you can use plant based antiinflamatoric, soothing creams to help the skin in the healing process, such as Calendula officinalis, Chamomilla, Salvia. Beta carotene and vitamin E are also helpful in the aftercare. 🙂☀️
Thanks for commenting and the tips Orsolya Demeter - Hope you are well and sending awesome vibes to you :)
