Prolonged sun exposure can significantly damage your skin. Here are some natural ways to heal your skin from UV damage.
Signs Of Sun Damage
Sun-damaged skin becomes rough and patchy. It can have red blotchy spots or hyperpigmentation. It becomes inflamed easily.
Cold Aloe Vera Gel
Apply a layer of cold aloe vera gel every night to replenish the lost moisture barrier and reduce inflammation.
Raw Milk
Use chilled raw milk on your skin to reduce the impact of heat on the skin. It also helps with a tan as it contains lactic acid.
Rose Water and Camphor
Mix a pinch of camphor in chilled rose water and let it sit on your face for 10 minutes. This can significantly reduce irritation and inflammation.
Cucumber mist
Grate a fresh cucumber to extract its juice. Add a few drops of lemon and glycerin and use it as face toner to combat sun spots and hyperpigmentation.
Multani Mitti
Multani mitti and curd face pack can help in reducing sun burn. Wash the pack before it is completely dry and finish off with a light moisturiser.
Conclusion
To avoid damaging your skin further, opt for double protection from the sun with a chemical and physical sunscreen. Drinking plenty of water is also important.
