The ultimate sunburn treatment is prevention. Be smart and wear sunscreen. Also, try and take breaks from being out in the sun – get some shade or go inside for 15 or 20 minutes every so often. However, if you happen to get sunburn at the beach or while lounging by the pool with the kids, take proper care. Apply cool moisturizer, and aloe vera gel; stay hydrated, and wear breathable fabric. For mild sunburns, give your body the time to heal. If you have second-degree or third-degree sunburn, visit a doctor right away. Children and babies with sunburn should always visit a doctor.
