Sunburn Causes
Sunburn is caused by too much exposure to the sun. The sun’s ultraviolet light includes UVB (burning ray) and UVA (tanning ray) light wavelengths. UVA is what causes skin damage, including skin cancer, advanced aging and wrinkling.
Sunburn happens when skin is damaged primarily by overexposure to UVB radiation. Reddening (and blistering) of the skin is due to injury and swelling of blood vessels close to the skin's surface. Burns may begin a few minutes after exposure and can worsen for several days.
While tanning and burning are both forms of skin damage, they are two separate processes resulting primarily from different types of UV radiation.
UVA rays penetrate deeper into the skin and can produce tanning without burning though can result in sunburn. UVB rays can also tan but are the primary cause of sunburn and skin cancer. Melanin in the epidermis absorbs UVA and UVB radiation. |

Treatment & Prevention
While avoiding sunburn altogether is the best remedy and advice, avoiding prolonged exposure is the best bet - even a single, severe burn at an early age can result in irreversable damage. The best sunburn remedies and treatments bring relief to the burn as well as heal the skin by penetrating through the epidermis to the dermis and sebcutaneous layers necessary for severe sunburn relief. Though cooling with lidocaine-based skin care products is useful for temporaray pain relief, antiseptic and healing properties are necessary to avoid damaged skin.
Wearing adequate, protective clothing and remaining shaded is most helpful when combined with SPF 30 or above sunscreen. Ensure you thoroughly cover exposed skin - the most common burns are where someone "missed a spot"! - leaving your back, face, stomach or legs with interesting, hard to hide patterns?!
If burned, try the following:
-
Drink plenty of fluids to remain hydrated
-
Dab or pat a cool, wet compress against damaged skin
-
For painful burns, use lidocaine and aloe vera products to cool and provide a topical antiseptic
-
Most burns peel within 3-6 days...avoid physically peeling; the exposed skin can become infected and is very sensitive
-
Apply and maintain a hydrating moisturizing cream. Hydration promotes faster healing, and clinically proven oils (Dermal Em®) heal and soften and ward off bacteria and inflammation |
