Guide To Treating And Preventing Sun Poisoning

Use A Cooling Moisturizer

Mirror

The outer layer of skin affected by sun poisoning will most likely begin to peel off in a few days to a week. In the interim, individuals can use a cooling moisturizer to soothe their skin and provide some pain relief. Cooling moisturizers often contain aloe, a plant-derived gel with cooling and moisturizing properties. Many ingredients can alleviate the burning sensation of sun-poisoned skin such as yogurt, milk, and menthol. Many moisturizers incorporate these ingredients into lotions for the added benefit of cooling and moisturizing. After-sun gels and creams are made specifically for providing relief to sunburned skin. These cooling moisturizers can be found in most pharmacies.
