Some of us may not see the importance of using sunscreen cream, or today we do not forget to use a face shield it from exposure to ultraviolet light. Whatever the reason, exposure to ultraviolet rays are strong enough to make our skin becomes red. Especially when it is followed by the pain. That means, our skin is not really strong with ultraviolet light which forced entry to the skin cells.
If this is what we feel, we usually just run to the bathroom and wash your face. Water wash our face, the effect is simply to wipe the burning sensations attached to the face, but not completely cool the skin. Curious what can we do to save face from the sun?
1. Grease a face with a lotion containing aloe vera. According to Lynne C. David, ND, neuropathic of the Center for Integrative Medicine, George Washington University Medical Center, Aloe Vera is the most effective plant cooling the face after being exposed to sunlight. Because this plant is soothing the tissues of our skin.
But David reminds us not to choose lotions that provided additional perfumery. Perfuming substance which is added it can cause allergies in our skin.
2. Compress with milk. Soak a small towel in cold liquid milk, then place the towel on the face of sunburn. "Set aside a towel for 20 minutes," said Hadley C. King, MD, a dermatologist from Weill Cornell Medical College in New York. Fat in the milk will soften the dry skin that has been burned. Recompress every 2 or 4 hours.
3. Do not forget to drink water. "Dehydration is a side effect caused by sunburn," said Andrea Donsky, founder of organic natural sites Naturallysavvy.com. And for the facial skin, white water we drink will irrigate the skin cells so that the pores could be closed again and issue of oil.
4. Apply honey. Inflammation of the skin is actually very easy to detect. If the color of our skin turn red as boiled crabs, the skin cells had become inflamed. And by nerve cells, inflammation was indicated by the pain we feel.
In order to return to normal skin, apply honey, especially in the skin of the fire. But choose a natural honey without any additional flavor, color, or aroma. Honey has a property suppress inflammation, says Donsky.
5. Take vitamins. In addition to save the skin from the outside, we also must increase the intake of antioxidants from the inside. King suggests, for several days after the burning sun, we should consume 1,000 mg of vitamin C supplementation, 400 IU vitamin E, 15 mg beta carotene, and two tablespoons of flaxseed oil or flaxseed oil.
All of that is a natural antioxidant that can accelerate the formation of antioxidants in the body to fight free radicals from ultraviolet rays that enter through the skin. In addition in the form of supplements, we can also enjoy all the antioxidants that by eating carrots, spinach, green vegetables, avocados, and almonds.
Five trick is actually not only will free us from the appearance of a red face, but also restore the chains antioxidant that works to protect and treat the skin. Good luck!
