☀️ The summer months are here, and they are HOT! ☀️

After spending a long day at the beach or a nice stroll through the park and you find yourself burnt, here are some tips to treat it at home:

🧴Moisturizers, such as Cetaphil (as long as it doesn't irritate the skin) or formulations that contain aloe, can help soothe, hydrate, and cool the skin.
🌿 Hydrocortisone cream can help calm the inflammation.
💊 Taking over-the-counter oral pain medication helps reduce pain and inflammation.
💧 Hydrate! Drinking water helps hydrate the body and prevent common side effects of sunburn, such as dehydration.

Remember to apply and reapply sunscreen throughout the day to avoid sunburns and reduce your risk of skin cancer—your skin will thank you!
