Sunburn

Depending on your skin type and the intensity of the sun, it takes on average 15 minutes in the sun, without protection, to develop sunburn and, consequently, damage skin cells. After a few hours, sunburnt skin becomes painful, hot and red depending on skin tones, before starting to peel and itch a few days later. But what can be done to avoid them? Here are some effective measures to take when you are outdoors to reduce the risk of sunburn.

When skin turns red after a day in the sun, it is essential to soothe it to prevent peeling and dehydration. Aloe vera, with its hydrating and repairing properties, is a recognised ally against sunburn. How should you apply it and why is it effective? Follow our guide to calm sunburn with aloe vera gel.
