Skin Tips

BURN

Anticipate Sunburn
If you know you've gotten too much sun, take 2 aspirin tablets before the redness appears; repeat every 4 hours for up to 6 doses.

Burns with Blistering
If a burn blisters, cover it with a clean saline (salt water)-soaked compress and seek medical attention for evaluation and treatment.

Cool Off Sunburn
Cool off your sunburn with a spritz bottle of water and a fan. Spray your sunburn with water and allow the cooling breeze from the fan to hit the affected areas.
