There have always been different ideas of how best to treat sunburn in the past. These remedies have included everything from butter, tea bags and egg whites.

These will do little or nothing to help and can make things worse for your sunburnt skin.

Moisturising is key, as you need to keep the skin as hydrated as possible! By using topical products with added vitamin C and vitamin E, you are replenishing any lost moisture and also repairing your damaged skin.

One of our favourites is BB Delicates lotion with orange blossom that will be sure to nourish that sensitive skin.

WATER WATER WATER!

You can never drink too much water when you’re sunburnt.

The fact is that your skin is a living organ. If you are dehydrated, you are preventing your skin’s natural ability to heal.

Your skin will lose water and more of it depending on how badly you have been sunburnt and in severe cases, sunburn can cause intense dehydration.

Why?

Sunburn will draw moisture towards the skin’s surface to aid in the healing process.

That’s why it is important that you stay hydrated and keep a bottle of water with you at all times to replace lost fluids.

Avoid using soaps or strongly perfumed products that can dry the skin until affected areas are completely healed.

BB Repair (or as we like to call it, our wonder gel!) is specifically formulated to rehydrate and cool the skin after laser, waxing, sunburn and minor burns.
