Research has shown that sunburn can lead to wrinkles. The UV rays of sunlight damages elastin and collagen, and it is due to these that skin gets its elasticity and firmness. When they get damaged then our skin begins to droop and causes wrinkles.
These tips can also help relieve the discomfort:
Take frequent cool baths or showers. As soon as you get out of the bathtub or shower, gently pat yourself dry, but leave a little water on your skin. Then, apply a moisturizer to help trap the water in your skin. This can help ease the dryness.
Use a moisturizer that contains Aloe Vera or Soy. If a particular area feels especially uncomfortable, you may want to apply a hydrocortisone cream that you can buy without a prescription.
Consider taking aspirin or ibuprofen
Drink extra water. Sunburn draws fluid to the skin’s surface and away from the rest of the body. Drinking extra water when you are sunburned helps prevent dehydration.
If your skin blisters, allow the blisters to heal. Blistering skin means you have second-degree sunburn. You should not pop the blisters, as blisters form to help your skin heal and protect you from infection.
Take extra care to protect sunburned skin. Wear clothing that covers your skin when outdoors. Tightly-woven fabrics work best. When you hold the fabric up to a bright light, you shouldn’t see any light coming through.
Although it may seem like a temporary condition, sunburn, a result of skin receiving too much exposure from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays, can cause long-lasting damage to the skin. This damage increases a person’s risk for getting skin cancer, making it critical to protect the skin from the sun.
