Cool Water
Basically, sunburn is skin inflammation, and one of the simplest methods to treat sunburn is cooling down areas damaged by the sun. A more effective way for instant relief from sunburn, even while you still out there in the sun is hopping in the water, whether it is a stream, lake or ocean.
Also, hopping in and out of the water may serve as a preventative method to keep severe conditions of sunburn at bay. Note, avoid pools with chlorinated water, as it may result in further skin irritation.
More so, never try to apply ice directly to the affected areas on your skin. Although you may feel relief when applied to your inflamed skin, it could do more harm than good to your sensitive sunburned skin.
Therefore, it is duly advised that you hop in a bath for soothing and cooling your skin, after your fun activities outdoors. [4]
