Facial Redness_ Causes And Cures
Sunburn is a pain. But it’s easy to treat and prevent. And you do want to prevent it. Sunburns increase your risk of developing skin cancer, so don’t take them lightly. Here’s what you can do about them:
1. TREAT A SUNBURN WITH ALOE VERA GEL
The Journal of Ethnopharmacology confirmed what we all already knew: aloe vera has anti-inflammatory properties that soothe inflamed and irritated skin. While it’s at it, Aloe Vera also moisturises skin, making it softer. This helps with the peeling that always comes along with sun damage, too.

2. WEAR SUNSCREEN EVERY DAY TO PREVENT SUNBURNS
Sunburns don’t happen just at the beach. UV rays are present all year round, from the second the sun comes up to the second it goes down. They can penetrate through clouds and even get reflected on snow. Don’t risk it!
Wear yourself every single day, even if you’re staying indoors.
