The right thing to do after a sunburn
Sunburn is often unavoidable during summer holidays. However, they are not to be taken lightly. Almost 80% of skin cancers are linked to excessive exposure to the sun. ” The sun is burning, even if it does not heat up very much, even if it is cloudy and in particular because of the reverberation of the sun on the sea “, shares Céline Augier.
These are called the UVB who are in question. They represent only 5% of ultraviolet rays, yet they are the most dangerous. If you do not wear sunscreen, or if you expose yourself to the sun for too long, you are taking a risk.
” In case of severe sunburn, we stop exposing ourselves, we take the time to drink to rehydrate and we take a cool shower to relieve the pain. “, adds the journalist. Apply a healing cream such as Biafine or a soothing gel with aloe vera.
You can supplement these treatments with homeopathy for three or four days. If the pain persists, see a doctor.
