Information On Sunburn

Looking for a natural sunburn treatment? You’re not alone. Once a few years back I fell asleep pool side before and received a serious sun burn which left me in some serious pain. It wasn’t so bad where I had to go to the doctor but I could barely move and every time I had to put on clothes, take a shower, etc. it was really uncomfortable.
If you have ever found yourself in this situation, no need to fear! There are plenty of ways to find sunburn treatment so that the effects of overexposure do not cause you too much pain in your life (consult a doctor before using any recommended sun burn treatments).
We all need sunburn treatment as some point. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t got sunburn at least one time in their life. I feel asleep at the beach before and got a mild sunburn but it wasn’t nothing to cry over. My mother would tell me what to do in every medical situation because mother’s know best.
Most experts and dermatologists agree that unprotected exposure to the sun can burn in as little as 15 minutes.  Intensity is at its greatest during mid-day, but coastal winds, cooler temperatures, and “first time” exposure can easily increase the risks of burning.  Without sunscreen, lying by the pool for even 30 minutes can give you visible and painful redness.
And aloe vera is a tried and true remedy. Many people grow the plants in their gardens just to have handy in case of a burn. However, aloe vera creams and lotions are readily available at cosmetic counters. The higher the aloe content, the more effective the cream will be.
Sandalwood, known commonly in India as chandana, is known for its cooling properties. But at the same time it is a herbal sunscreen. Its paste is applied on the skin. However the paste is generally diluted because it becomes too thick and stretches uncomfortably on the skin.
Simply put, overexposure to the sun’s UV rays, primarily overexposure to UVB – considered the “burning rays” of the sun. Blistering and reddening of the skin is caused by increased blood circulation close to the skin’s surface as the body defends itself from damage. Burns may begin a few minutes after exposure and may continue for days as Melanin in the epidermis absorbs UVA and UVB radiation.
Protect yourself from sunburns by using a broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15, wear a wide brimmed hat, wear sunglasses, avoid moving out in the afternoons- 10 to 4 in the day. Cover yourself with protective clothing and take extra care when you are on heights, near the beach or sand.
Use a sunscreen with an SPF (sun protection factor) of no less than 8. Rub it thoroughly into your skin paying special attention to sensitive areas that don’t normally get much sun (under your arms, the insides of your knees, and the bottoms of your feet)
If the sunburn is minor, you may get relief by taking painkillers, taking cold baths, applying cooling aloe Vera lotions and using moisturizers. You should consult a doctor if blisters appear or if you get fever.
