• Baking soda - Generously
sprinkle baking soda into tepid bathwater. Let the solution dry on your
skin.
And a few more tips to make life easier!
• Go easy on soap - Soap can dry and irritate burned skin. Use only a mild
brand and rinse it off very well.
• Moisturize your skin - Soaks and compresses feel good and give temporary
relief, but they can make your skin feel drier than before if you don't
apply moisturizer immediately afterward. For added relief, try chilling
your moisturizer before applying it.
• Try an ice pack - An ice pack can also provide relief if the burn is
mild. Wrap it in a damp cloth and hold it over the sunburn. Improvise, if
necessary, says Dr. Haberman. "You could even take a big of frozen peas,
for instance, and use that. But make sure to wrap it first so you're not
placing the icy package directly against your skin."
• Drink up - It's a good idea to drink lots of water to help counteract
the drying effect of a burn.
• Get a good night's rest - Sleeping on a sunburn can be murder, but you
need a lot of rest for your body to recover from the burn. So try
sprinkling talcum powder on your sheets to minimize chafing and friction.
After you've gotten burned, it takes three to six months for your skin to
return to normal. The top layer of skin peels off and the newly exposed
skin is more sensitive than ever. So be a lot more careful when you
venture out!
