Got a sunburn and now your skin is peeling? See what you have to do
You’ve been in the sun longer than you should and now that the burn is starting to subside, you’re seeing your skin peeling. You might be wondering how to deal with it, and the answer is simple: avoid the above sun exposure.
For some people, peeling skin after a sunburn can be strangely satisfying and not bother them. For others, it’s just annoying (I’m in that category)! But have you ever wondered what really happens when your skin starts to peel?
Why does the skin peel after a sunburn?
When your skin peels after a sunburn, it means your body is trying to get rid of cells that have been damaged by UV rays. This “damage” can be so severe that the cells cannot be repaired and must be eliminated from the body at all costs.
What happens when you peel off burnt skin?
The dead skin cells, before they fall off, play an important role: they protect the new and soft skin that exists underneath. If you pull them before they’re ready to go away on their own, you’re exposing this new skin that’s still trying to heal. This can delay the healing process and because the new skin is more sensitive, irritation or even infection can occur. It is best to let the skin “fall off” naturally to give the new skin time to grow properly.
How to deal with peeling skin from sunburn
Hydration is key!
Use moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated and help restore its protective layer. This way, you will limit peeling.
Beauty tips:
-Choose fragrance-free products to avoid irritating your skin.
-Apply the cream gently, without intense rubbing.
-Stay out of the sun until your skin heals.
-Aloe vera gel is ideal for hydration and relief.
How to avoid peeling from sunburn
Unfortunately, if your skin is severely damaged, peeling is inevitable. However, you can protect yourself from the next sunburn by choosing a sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30. Apply 30 minutes before going out in the sun and reapply every two hours or immediately after swimming or sweating profusely.
Thus, you will avoid unpleasant consequences and keep your skin healthy and protected
