Treating sunburn

At this time a year we hear a lot about how to avoid getting a sunburn.

But what happens if you still end up with one?

Experts say the minute you see any sign of skin reddening, get out of the sun.

It can take four to six hours for the symptoms of burn to develop, so a little pink could mean a lot of red later.

Experts also say it’s important to moisturize your skin and drink lots of water to prevent dehydration.

Taking an anti-inflammatory drug like ibuprofen, after getting a burn, could help reduce swelling and redness.
