When the skin becomes red and hot after sunburn, take the following measures immediately:
1. Avoid further exposure: Quickly move out of direct sunlight to prevent worsening of the sunburn.
2. Cool compress: Gently apply a damp towel or cooling pad to the affected skin to reduce skin temperature and relieve redness, swelling, and pain.
3. Moisturize: Use a gentle moisturizer to replenish skin moisture and aid in skin recovery.
4. Avoid irritation: Temporarily avoid using cosmetics and skincare products to prevent further skin irritation.
5. Monitor symptoms: If the sunburn is severe, with symptoms such as blisters or peeling skin, seek medical attention promptly to avoid delayed treatment.
