But sometimes, even the most diligent sunscreen users can find themselves with a little too much sun. If you do end up with a sunburn, don&#8217;t despair. There are plenty of home remedies that can help soothe your skin and help it heal.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-28\" src=\"http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.2.jpg\" alt=\"harmful UV rays\" width=\"870\" height=\"495\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.2.jpg 870w, http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.2-300x171.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.2-768x437.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Here are a few sunburn prevention tips to keep in mind for your next vacation:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Use sunscreen, even on cloudy days. UV rays can penetrate clouds, so it&#8217;s important to always apply sunscreen before heading outdoors, regardless of the weather forecast. Look for a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30.<\/li>\n<li>Reapply sunscreen often, especially if you&#8217;re swimming or sweating. Water and sweat can both cause sunscreen to wash off or rub off, so it&#8217;s important to reapply it every few hours, especially if you&#8217;re spending time in the water.<\/li>\n<li>Wear protective clothing. In addition to sunscreen, wearing long-sleeved shirts, hats, and sunglasses can help protect your skin from the sun&#8217;s harmful rays.<\/li>\n<li>Seek shade when possible. If you&#8217;re going to be outdoors for an extended period, try to stay in the shade as much as possible. This will help reduce your exposure to UV rays.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid tanning beds and sunlamps. These devices emit harmful UV rays that can damage your skin and increase your risk of skin cancer.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you do end up with a sunburn, there are plenty of home remedies that can help soothe your skin. These include taking a cool shower or bath, applying aloe vera gel to the affected area, and drinking plenty of fluids. If your sunburn is severe or if you develop any signs of skin cancer, see a doctor immediately.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-29\" src=\"http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"472\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.3.jpg 960w, http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.3-300x148.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.postcardsfromyonder.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/sunburn.prevention.tips_.3-768x378.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/p>\n<h2>Sunburn relief: how to treat sunburns effectively<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve been outdoors without sunscreen or protective clothing, you may have sunburn.\u00a0 Sunburns can be painful and dangerous, so it&#8217;s important to treat them effectively.<\/p>\n<p>There are a few things you can do to ease the pain of sunburn and help your skin heal:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Get out of the sun as soon as possible and stay out of the sun until your skin has healed.<\/li>\n<li>Apply cool compresses to the affected area.
