Cold compress is the most effective way to treat sunburn
Sunburn is an acute inflammation of the skin, and cold compress is the most effective treatment method.
If you feel hot and itchy skin after sun exposure, you should apply cold compress to lower the skin temperature and reduce damage, and the sooner the better.
Milk is better than others on the treatment of sunburn
Compared with ordinary cold water cold compress, cold milk external application is more effective because the acidity of milk has an anti-inflammatory and astringent effect on the skin.
How to treat sunburn with milk
The specific method is to put the milk in the refrigerator and refrigerate it at a temperature of 4 to 10°C. Milk at this temperature is most suitable for cold compress.
Soak a clean small towel or gauze in cold milk and apply it to the sunburned skin. When the sunburn area is large, you can use a small towel for cold compress. If the sunburn area is small, you can use 4 to 8 layers of gauze for cold compress.
Soak in milk every 5 minutes, apply for 30 to 60 minutes, apply 2 to 3 times a day, and continue for about 3 days, and the sunburned skin will be repaired.
Be care of skin allergies during sunburn treatment
Some people like to use vegetable and fruit juice cold compress, but this may cause skin allergies, while cold milk external application is relatively safe.
After sunburn, you must not touch hot water again, do not use soap, perfumed soap, shower gel, etc. to irritate the skin, and do not use skin care products for the time being.
