Other Tips for Treating Sunburn

The best way of treating a problem is by avoiding it. Always apply sunscreen at least 20-30 mins before heading out.this time allows for the sunscreen to start working before you go out. Try to keep your sunscreen in your bag, or in your car, basically anywhere from where you can access it from. Always remember to reapply your sunscreen after 2-3 hours. If you are sweating a lot feel free to use the sunscreen more often. Protect your eyes by wearing sunglasses. Also, take care of your lips by applying a lip balm with SPF. Lips tend to burn faster than skin so make sure that you keep a lip balm with you as well.
