You can get sunburn anywhere be it on the beach or just extreme exposure to the sun. But you should always avoid the sun between 10am and 4pm when the sun is the strongest. The damage done by the harmful rays of the sun are quite painful as they are red and sometimes dry and itchy. You can apply cold water pads or a mixture of baking soda and cold water to the affected areas. To get instant relief from your sunburns you can also apply crushed ice and mashed potato. Slices of cucumber can also be beneficial for your sunburn. Aloe extract in pure form can be very effective for your sunburns. When the skin starts to peel off don’t start scrubbing or scratching. You will have to let it peel off naturally. In extreme cases you should consult a doctor. You can take aspirins to reduce the inflammation before opting for natural remedies.

Facing so many problems because of sunburn its better to use an effective sunscreen and cover your skin before going out in the sun.
