1. Stay hydrated
When exposed to the sun, the body loses much needed water and essential nutrients. Drinking plenty of fluids (mainly H2O) will help counteract the drying effects of a sunburn, reduce the risk of dehydration as well as rehydrate the body for optimum recovery.
2. Try a cool bath or a cold compress
Wash the burned area thoroughly using a mild soap and cool water. Apply a cold compress for 10 – 15 minutes several times a day to relieve pain.
To create a cold compress, dip a towel in ice-cold water or soak a wash cloth in a mixture of cold water and milk.
