What is sunburn?
Sunburn is a condition in which the skin is damaged by UV rays, especially UVB rays, causing inflammation, redness, burning, heat, peeling, or blistering in severe cases.
It usually occurs after just a few minutes of unprotected sun exposure, especially during strong sunlight hours between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.
How is sunburn different from suntanned skin?
- Sunburn: An acute inflammatory condition after severe sun exposure that causes burning, redness, or blistering.
- Sunburn: Resulting from increased melanin production as the body tries to protect the skin from the sun. It usually occurs slowly and gradually.
A misunderstanding between these two conditions can lead to choosing the wrong care method and having long-term negative effects on your skin.

Moisturizers can help to some extent , but you should choose a formula that is gentle and soothing to the skin, and does not cause cell turnover, such as:
- Aloe Vera: Soothes the skin.

- Niacinamide: Reduces dullness and controls pigmentation.
- Vitamin E / Ceramide: Moisturizes and protects skin cells. Avoid fruit acids or whitening agents in the early stages because the skin is sensitive and inflamed.
