Sunburn is an inflammation of the skin caused by excessive sun exposure: let's see how to relieve the symptoms of erythema with natural cosmetic remedies.
Erythema: symptoms and prevention
Erythema is an inflammation of the skin caused by exposure to the sun: if the skin is not adequately protected, or if the exposure occurs during the hottest hours or for too long, the sun's rays cause more or less severe burns preceded by erythema
Erythema is very common in children but also appears in adulthood and is characterized by redness of the skin and the presence of small blisters that cause discomfort and itching . The vesicles generally appear on the abdomen and back, but can affect all areas of the body exposed to the sun. Erythema resolves within a few days but can be very annoying, as well as unsightly.
To prevent the appearance of erythema, it is necessary to avoid exposure to the sun in the central hours of the day and spend most of the time spent on the beach in the shade.
When exposed to the sun, it is necessary to apply a cream with a suitable sunscreen, suitable for your skin type . The cream should be applied again during the day, especially after a bath.
Erythema is just one of the problems caused by the sun: let's not forget that the sun can cause irreversible damage to the cells of the epidermis.
