April 2, 2010, Newsletter Issue #225: Treat your skin gently and moisturize after sun exposure.
Tip of the Week
Even if you have not gotten sunburned, it is important to care for your sun after sun exposure. After a day at the beach, re-hydrate skin with moisturizer, preferably one without alpha-hydroxy acids, which will cause your skin to peel. If you do have a touch of sunburn, soak in a cool tub with an oatmeal-based soak (such as Aveeno Oatmeal Bath) to cool the skin, take some acetaminophen or ibuprofen to reduce swelling, and apply an aloe-based lotion to moisturize the skin. You can also use products containing (No Suggestions), tea tree oil and green tea to help speed healing & prevent peeling.
