Embrace Summer and Protect Your Skin
A quick scroll through your Instagram captures the essence of these moments – beach parties, barbecues, and endless laughter. But amidst these golden memories, there’s often a stark reminder of the summer sun’s intensity – that painful sunburn!
With 34% of Americans skipping sunscreen, sunburns are a common consequence. But don't worry, we've got you covered. Here are our top 3 tips for soothing sunburn and embracing the rest of summer with radiant skin.
1. Sunburn Relief with Mud Puddle® Detoxifying Mud Mask
If you haven't heard us rave about this product before, let us introduce you to Mud Puddle®. It's our go-to for sunburn relief. The thermal properties of Mud Puddle® draw out the heat from the burn, while its anti-inflammatory properties soothe and reduce pain. It’s an essential in our skincare routine post-sun exposure.
2. Aloe Ice Cubes: Instant Relief
Aloe ice cubes are a quick and effective remedy for sunburn. Simply fill an ice cube tray with pure aloe vera gel and freeze. These cooling cubes provide immediate relief and hydration. Just rub one on the affected area and let the aloe's natural healing properties work their magic.
3. Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV): A Surprising Soothe
Apple cider vinegar might not be the first thing you think of for sunburn relief, but it's surprisingly effective. According to the Wound Care Society, ACV's antiseptic properties relieve pain, balance pH levels, and reduce the risk of blisters. Mix one cup of ACV with one cup of water in a spray bottle and spritz on the sunburn. Alternatively, soak a cloth in the mixture and apply it to the skin, or add two cups to a tepid bath and soak for 20 minutes.
Prevention is Key: Protect Your Skin
As the saying goes, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." To avoid future sunburns, apply sunscreen daily. If sunscreen isn’t your preference, opt for protective clothing and hats when spending extended periods outdoors. Always check the UV index for your area and take appropriate precautions. Your skin will thank you!
