The fact is that in Russia the duration of summer is not as long as we would like, therefore, the desire to get their portion of vitamin D for many goes into an obsession. However, getting a high-quality tan is impossible at a time, and making burns is very easy. What to do after burns? The answer is simple: prevent them!
Precautions
- First you need to consider the type of skin and its condition. It depends on how much time a person can safely spend in the sun. The main thing is to understand that you need to be careful, especially when the wind blows, because because of it the probability of sunburn is very high.
- So that the skin does not get sunburned, one should not sunbathe in moments of high sun activity. In no case should you step out of the shade at lunchtime.
- After bathing, it is advisable to wipe off, as the water on the body becomes a kind of concentrator of sunlight and can contribute to burns.
- Water should not be taken externally, but inside. Namely, it is necessary that the body is saturated with liquid. And then no one will complain that they were burnt in the sun.
- Before a trip to a hot country, it is best to visit the solarium a couple of times so that the skin is ready for sun exposure, especially if it has not taken on a tan for a long time.
- In order for the tan to be uniform, it is necessary to close the shoulders and back, since they burn most quickly.
- In the end, before you go to the open surface, it is worth smearing yourself with some sunscreen. Since after it has already been sunburned, it makes no sense to use them.
Actions for burning
1) One of the most expensive products is Panthenol. This is a kind of anti-burn foam, which has a strong effect. Using it, you can avoid undesirable consequences. However, it should be applied repeatedly. After the foam is absorbed, it must be smeared again. Thus, if burned in the sun, then “Panthenol” will serve as a lifesaver of the skin.
2) Sour-milk products, namely kefir or sour cream, have a softening effect. But, nevertheless, according to doctors, sour cream is less effective, because there is a lot of fat that clogs the pores.
3) Little-known properties of vodka, which, it turns out, can serve as an anti-burn agent. As soon as someone is sunburned, you immediately need to smear the problem areas with vodka, and a positive result is guaranteed.
4) Vegetables can also help with burning. When using fresh potato juice, which should be rubbed on the skin, improvements will be noticeable. A gruel of cucumber, passed through a fine grater, will add effect.
5) Lotions made from strong tea also have a good result. If a person is sunburned, warm tea will help. The main thing is not to make it too hot.
The choice of treatment for burns does not matter, they are all quite effective. It is important to take a cool shower before doing any compresses. Gels and soap are undesirable because they have the ability to dry the skin. And for faster recovery, you should drink more water.
