Sunburnt Skin? Soothe Sunburn with Bio-Oil

There’s nothing quite like the feeling of the warmth of the sun on your skin, but it’s important that we keep ourselves protected against the damaging UV rays.

Wearing sunscreen even when it’s not bright and sunny is essential during the summer months, especially when you travel to warmer parts of the world.

Overexposure to the sun can cause sun spots, premature ageing and can even increase your risk of developing skin cancer. Plus, when we stay in the sun for too long without protection, it’s easy to get sunburn which can be sore and painful.

If you do find you’ve overdone it in the sun, these tips can help reduce the pain and protect your skin:

Get out of the sun – the first step is to remove yourself from the sun and find somewhere to cool down. Drink plenty of water to reduce your temperature and try taking a cool shower or bath.

Moisturise your skin – the powerful rays of the sun can leave your skin dehydrated as well as sore, so it’s important to apply a soothing moisturiser once your skin has cooled down. Bio-Oil contains calendula oil, which has cell regenerative effects and is ideal for treating sun-damaged skin, as well as chamomile, which is a natural anti-inflammatory.

Try a natural remedy – if you’re struggling with the soreness sunburn can cause, try using the natural gel from within an aloe vera plant as a cooling remedy to take the sting out of your skin.

Shaving is a form of physical exfoliation which can impose stress on the skin. Soothe your skin with a few drops of Bio-Oil after shaving to minimise the damage. It contains chamomile oil which is an anti-inflammatory, and provides a soothing and calming effect on the skin.

I would just like to say how amazing Bio-Oil is. I have bad eczema that usually reacts negatively to skin products. I’ve been using Bio-Oil in my bath for the past month and it not only softens but also soothes my very itchy skin! Thank you so much!
