It is officially ‘sunburn season’ so don’t forget to apply sunscreen with at least SPF30 daily, especially during these hot, sunny, summer months in Cyprus! For those unaware, sun burn is literally a radiation burn from the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Try to avoid the sun during the hours of 12-4PM, especially children, as well as sun exposure for more than 20 minutes. When in the sun, be sure to drink at least 2L of water to stay hydrated. When radiation injury & damage occur, we often see the result of our immune systems working by ridding the body of the damaged cells by forming blisters and/or peeling skin on our bodies. To relieve sunburn, use for ex. 100% Aloe Vera gel for cooling and use cold compresses to also reduce the burning sensation.
