What Can You Do For A Bad Sunburn?

Did you get sunburned? Are you curious what you can do for a bad sunburn? Apply an aloe vera based moisturizer to help soothe sunburn. Keep applying over the next few days, even after the redness starts to fade. Do not treat a sunburn with any product that ends in “caine” (such as benzocaine), as this ingredient may irritate the skin. #Sunscreen #SkinHealth #SkinTips
