How to remedy a sunburned face

1. When your skin is exposed to the sun for too long, the moisture in the stratum corneum evaporates and your skin will feel rough and dry. The first thing you need to do is to "quench the skin's thirst" by drinking a large glass of water and using spray or wet compress to hydrate the stratum corneum again.

2. Increased skin temperature will stimulate inflammation and melanin proliferation, so the skin temperature should be lowered after hydrating. It is recommended to use a cooling mask designed specifically for after-sun exposure, apply it on the skin surface to absorb heat and effectively lower the skin temperature.

3. Unless your skin has been sunburned (with redness, swelling or peeling), you can use a moisturizing or whitening mask after sun exposure. People who care about spots can choose a whitening mask to prevent them and metabolize the dullness and pigmentation that have already formed.

4. For minor sunburn:

After sun exposure, the skin will be at a higher temperature. At this time, you might as well try applying cold compresses to the skin, using a wet cold towel about once every half an hour for four to five hours. Or take a cold shower and then apply a nourishing moisturizer to immediately replenish skin moisture, reduce redness and allergies, and calm and soothe hot and red skin. In addition, sun exposure will absorb a large amount of water in the human body, making the body prone to dehydration. Therefore, you should drink plenty of water to replenish the lost water. It can also alleviate the pain after sun exposure and prevent the skin from becoming too dehydrated. Do not wear makeup during this time.

5. For moderate sunburn:

In addition to the above treatment methods, you can also apply aloe vera juice to the sunburned area. Aloe vera has the effect of immediately reducing fever and cooling. You can also take aspirin as soon as possible; this anti-inflammatory medicine can reduce swelling of the skin and help relieve pain.

6. For severe sunburn: If your sunburn causes pain, swelling, blisters, or even fever, chills, dizziness, nausea, etc. within twelve hours of exposure, you should see a doctor as soon as possible.

Does applying a facial mask work if your face is sunburned?

sure!

But you must pay attention to the degree of damage to your skin after sun exposure. After sunburn, wait until your skin returns to normal temperature before using a facial mask. Before use, you can put the mask in a refrigerator at 5° to refrigerate it, which can quickly soothe and calm the skin.

If your skin has obvious severe redness, swelling, pain, hot and burning sensation, it is not recommended to use a facial mask, lest the heat from the skin cannot be dissipated, which would be counterproductive and cause more serious damage.

This is the end of the introduction to the remedies for a sunburned face. In this case, applying a facial mask is also helpful.
