Are you one among the many who have been spending endless hours in the sun so as to get the perfect tan? Did you instead get a bad sun burn and finding ways and means to repair sun damaged skin? It is not too late to know that the UV rays of sun do more harm than good to your skin. It leads to skin damage such as premature aging and in severe cases leads to skin cancer.
In order to repair your sun damaged skin, firstly you should see how bad the burns or damages are. Apply a cold cloth over the burn so as to relieve the burning sensation. Avoid using soap or oil in the affected region. You could apply relief lotions on the burn that contains aloe vera.
You may feel feverish and headache following sun burn. This could be as a result of dehydration. Drink sufficient water so as to reduce the tiredness. If you see blisters, do not break them, they will heal by themselves. Having Vitamin D3 supplement following sun burns will help you in slowing down the development of cancer cells if any.
If you find any red or broken blood vessels or any other irregular marks, consult your dermatologist at once rather than trying to treat by yourself.
Since prevention is better than cure, you could take precautions not to get the burns by not exposing yourself in the sun more than required. When you go out in sun, make sure you apply a good sun block all over your exposed skin. Wear goggles and a wide brimmed hat to guard you from the harsh rays.
Including fresh fruits and leafy vegetables in your diet and drinking lots of water and green tea is also beneficial to repair your sun damaged skin.
