Increased sun exposure will increase your risk of getting sunburn. Most sunburns are first degree burns of the outer layer of skin and can be easily treated at home. Here are a few tips and tricks to help you care for your burn:
The best treat way to treat sunburn is to avoid getting one in the first place. Use plenty of sunscreen and reapply often, even when it’s cloudy. Plenty of UV rays are still able to penetrate the cloud layer which can cause just as severe a burn. Try to stay out of the sun between the hours of 10 am to 4 pm because this is when the sun is at its strongest. If you are venturing out, try to wear a broad-brimmed hat, tightly woven, losing-fitting clothing, and sunglasses. This will help reduce your risk of UV ray damage and keep your skin healthy and happy.
