What should I do if my skin is sunburned?

If the skin is accidentally sunburned, immediately move out of direct sunlight and apply a cold compress to the affected area in a shaded place for about 15–20 minutes to reduce redness and pain.

Then, apply a dermatologist-recommended after-sun repair cream containing soothing ingredients such as aloe vera and arbutin.

If symptoms are severe—such as blistering or high fever—seek medical attention promptly. Afterwards, practice diligent sun protection to prevent further damage, and ensure adequate hydration and intake of antioxidants to support skin recovery.
