Relieve sunburn effectively: find your soothing ally

Summer, days out in the open, swimming... So many precious moments when we're exposed to the sun, sometimes a little too long. The result? Skin becomes red, hot and tight: sunburn is here. If you're looking to quickly soothe this surface burn, repair your epidermis and regain comfort, you've come to the right place. In this category, we'll help you choose the best solutions to restore your skin to a healthy, soft and serene state.

Understanding sunburn: from superficial burn to lasting protection

Sunburn, also known as actinic erythema, is an inflammatory reaction of the skin after prolonged exposure to the sun's UVB rays. It's an alarm signal: your skin is in distress. The history of sunburn treatment dates back to ancient civilizations, when medicinal plants were used to soothe burns. Today, dermatology offers cutting-edge formulas to intensely moisturize, reduce inflammation and accelerate skin regeneration.

Over the years, after-sun care brands have succeeded in combining pharmaceutical expertise with natural benefits. Their objective? To provide your skin with respectful products that are effective, safe and sensorial, transforming a bad sun memory into a moment of soothing care.

How do I care for sunburned skin?

When faced with sunburn, a few simple reflexes can make all the difference:

act quickly: as soon as you feel a burning sensation, move immediately into the shade and start cooling the skin with lukewarm (not icy!) water.
moisturize intensely: apply after-sun care immediately to prevent drying and flaking.
drink plenty of fluids: sunburn leads to significant water loss; remember to drink to rehydrate your body from the inside out.
avoid greasy products: avoid heavy oils or butters immediately after sunburn, as they can trap heat under the skin.
don't remove dead skin: let the skin regenerate naturally to avoid scarring.

By following these tips, you'll limit damage, support repair and reduce the discomfort associated with sunburn.

Your pharmacist's advice for sunburn relief

Your pharmacist is your best ally when it comes to caring for your sunburned skin. Here are his recommendations:

use productscontaining aloe vera, centella asiatica or calendula, plants renowned for their healing and anti-inflammatory properties.
monitor progress: in the event of severe blistering, fever or intense pain, consult a health professional.
adapt your sun care routine: after a sunburn, your skin becomes more sensitive, so be sure to use SPF50+ sunscreen the next time you are exposed to the sun.
pamper your skin for several days with rich, repairing skin care products to fully restore its balance.

By listening to your pharmacist, you can choose safe solutions tailored to your specific situation, and quickly regain your skin's comfort.
