Treatment for Sunburned Skin
The sun’s rays are made of a powerful form of energy called ultraviolet light, or UV light. UV rays can penetrate your skin, burning the tissue much like heat can permeate the skin to cause thermal burns. This can leave you with painful, inflamed skin that can later peel. Multiple sunburns over time can also lead to dark spots and wrinkles.
At Skin Begins, we want to help you with all of your skin problems, including sunburn. We have soothing lotions to calm burned skin as well as protective sunscreen lotions to help you avoid sunburn next time you are outside.

Caring for Sunburns
Sunburns occur when UV rays permeate your skin, leading to damage that results in red, tender skin. This damage can occur in less than thirty minutes. While red skin is the main symptom of sunburn, you can also experience fever or chills along with nausea and vomiting. When you suffer sunburn, you cannot reverse the damage, but you can help your body in several ways, including:
- Drink plenty of water to rehydrate
- Take anti-inflammatory medication according to their directions
- Use cool compresses against the skin
- Treat your skin to lotions containing aloe
- Use anti-inflammatory creams such as cortisone cream if the burn is mild
Of course, the most important thing to do after sunburn is to stay out of the sun while your skin is in this sensitive condition.
