It’s hard to avoid sunlight, especially in Thailand, where it’s hot and close to the equator. If you need to stay under the sun for a long time, like going on a beach trip or traveling upcountry, by nighttime, you might feel skin irritation, burning, and redness on your face. This sunburn can be painful and may last for several days.
Causes of sunburned face
A sunburned face is a type of skin inflammation caused by UV rays from the sun damaging the outer layer of the skin. Symptoms usually include redness, burning, and itching. The severity depends on your skin type. People with sensitive skin may have worse symptoms than those with stronger skin.
Fortunately, your body has a way to heal the sunburn naturally. It might take about a week or more for the inflammation to go away and for the damaged skin cells to shed.
But that’s not all. UV rays cause your skin to produce more melanin, a pigment that protects your skin from future UV damage. This is why your skin may become darker.
Sunburned face and dark skin, what can you do?
Now the big question: how do you treat a sunburned face? During the inflammation stage, the most important thing is to let your skin heal itself. If the symptoms are severe, you might want to consult a pharmacist or dermatologist for proper treatment. When your skin starts to peel and feel dry, you can use some skincare products to help with the healing process.
Skincare, face masks, supplements, and vitamin drips
Your skin needs moisture at this time, so choose skincare products and face masks that contain aloe vera, water, or hyaluronic acid. Keep using them until the redness, dryness, and peeling go away. You might also take supplements that promote healthy skin and drink plenty of water.
Vitamin drips (IV Drip Vitamin) can be another option for people with sunburned skin. skin vitamin drips involves injecting concentrated vitamins directly into the bloodstream through an IV. It's good for quickly nourishing dry, sunburned, and weak skin. The recommended treatment is a Premium Collagen drip.
Next, let’s talk about how to treat the dark skin left behind after your sunburn heals. If you want to lighten your skin, whitening skincare is a good choice. However, for faster results, cosmetic skin treatments might be worth considering.
AuraWhite injection for bright and clear skin
The dark spots left after a sunburn come from melanin under your skin. Using skincare products may take a long time to show results, and you have to apply them regularly. But for faster effects, you can try AuraWhite injections, which contain Transamine mixed with Normal Saline 0.9%. This helps reduce and prevent melanin production, addressing dark spots, acne marks, and dull skin.
EachAuraWhite injection involves two 1cc injections across your face. You should get the injections once a week until you're happy with the results. How quickly it works depends on how dark your skin is and your lifestyle.
Chanel injection for radiant skin
The Chanel injection (L’ebss Chanel) is a skin booster that contains over 20 essential nutrients, including hyaluronic acid (HA) to keep the skin moisturized, pink yeast extract for skin cleansing, and over 14 peptides to nourish the skin’s structure.
For each Chanel injection injection, the doctor will draw 3 ml of the solution from the vial and inject it evenly across the face. It’s recommended to get injections once a week for about 3-4 weeks to see the best results. After that, you can space out the injections to every 2-3 months.
The nutrients in the Chanel injection will nourish and restore your skin, bringing it back to a healthy state. You’ll notice brighter, glowing skin, even if it was dull before due to sunburn.
Tips to prevent sunburned skin
- Avoid direct sunlight: Try not to stay outside from 11:00 AM to 4:00 PM. If you have to be outside, take breaks in the shade.
- Use enough sunscreen: Applying sunscreen just once won’t protect you all day. Reapply it every 2-5 hours, depending on your activities.
- Wear protective clothing: Use hats, scarves, or umbrellas to block the sun.
- Drink lots of water: Staying hydrated helps regulate your body temperature and keeps your skin healthy.
