The sun benefits our skin for several reasons:
If we expose our skin to sunlight for too long, we can easily burn. In general, it is not recommended to expose the skin to the sun's rays between 10 a.m. and 3 p.m.
It is appropriate:
As first aid after sunburn, we can use a cold compress that we apply to the burnt skin or a cold shower (if no blisters have formed).
Medications that effectively suppress itching and burning include locally or globally acting antihistamines and can also be used in the event of a sun allergy.
Preparations containing dexpanthenol in the form of a spray or foam work excellently for healing and regeneration of affected skin (reduces inflammation and restores the skin's barrier function).
Gels and creams with a higher water content are more suitable for use, which cool the skin pleasantly.
Repeated sunburns should not be underestimated in any case - it dries out the skin, accelerates aging and, last but not least, increases the risk of skin cancer.
