The harm of sunburn and peeling, the treatment of sunburn and peeling

In the summer, the sun is scorching and the ultraviolet rays are very strong. If we do not pay attention to sun protection, our skin will become red and burning, and sometimes even blister. After a few days, it will begin to peel and the skin will turn dark. This kind of skin damage is called "sun spots."

The harm of sunburn and peeling

1. The more times you get sunburned. The more serious the damage. Normally, the body's cells will repair themselves after being damaged. If there is no natural repair or the natural repair ability is weak, if the body's cells mutate, it is possible to develop skin cancer, which is especially likely to occur in the elderly.

2. People with hereditary skin diseases are more likely to get skin cancer after repeated sunburn. For example, people with xeroderma pigmentosum cannot repair themselves naturally after being sunburned. Repeated and cumulative sunburns can cause skin cancer. Therefore, people with a genetic background for skin diseases should avoid sunlight and sun protection in the summer, because their chances of developing solar skin cancer, such as basal cell carcinoma, squamous cell carcinoma, malignant melanoma, etc., are much higher than those without a genetic background.

Treatment of sunburn and peeling

1. Cucumbers have skin-beautifying effects. People often cover their faces with cucumber slices to keep their complexion smooth and bright. After sunburn, you can apply cucumber juice on the painful skin for about 10 minutes. The coolness will penetrate the skin and the pain will naturally subside. Cucumber juice is rich in water and the vitamin C it contains can enhance the skin's regeneration ability. It can not only replenish the moisture lost by the skin, but also treat peeling. After application, rinse with water.

2. Use watermelon rind to make soup, which has a refreshing effect. After exposure to the sun, you can mash the watermelon rind into juice, mix it with honey to make a facial mask, or apply it to the injured area. It can also reduce the swelling, pain and peeling of sunburned skin. The vitamins, glucose and fructose in honey can moisturize and whiten the skin, and also have bactericidal and disinfecting effects, which can heal wounds as soon as possible and restore the skin to smoothness.

3. Aloe Vera

Aloe vera is native to Africa and its use was recorded in ancient Egyptian therapeutic books 3,000 years ago. Among them, aloe vera has the functions of wound healing, rash treatment, improving skin sensitivity, and repairing sunburn, making it one of the most widely used natural plants in personal care products.

Main effects: calming, anti-inflammatory, sunburn relief, moisturizing, refreshing and cooling effects. The extracted parts are the leaves of aloe vera and the gelatin inside the leaves, which are suitable for adding to gel products for treating sunburn and photoburns. They are also widely used in anti-inflammatory and moisturizing products for sensitive skin. Aloe vera is often used in moisturizing gel products and is a special repair product for the skin.
