After sunburn on the skin at the seaside, it is recommended to avoid further sun exposure and seek shade or a cool area to rest as soon as possible.

Cold compresses can be applied to the affected area; gently placing a cold pack on the skin may help reduce pain and swelling. Use skincare products containing ingredients such as aloe vera and arbutin to moisturize and aid skin recovery.

If symptoms continue to worsen or if blisters, peeling, or other complications develop, prompt medical attention is advised.
