Soothing gel for sunburn relief

What Actually Works for Sunburn Relief

Key Ingredients That Make a Difference

Research shows aloe vera soothes skin and helps it heal faster. Look for panthenol (vitamin B5) because it restores your skin’s barrier. Glycerin is another hero—it locks in hydration and prevents peeling. Skip gels with alcohol or heavy fragrances; those can actually make things worse.

How to Use Soothing Gel the Right Way

• Apply a generous layer right after sun exposure, but wait until skin has cooled down a little.
• Reapply every three hours for the first day. Sunburned skin loses moisture rapidly, so don’t let it dry out.
• Keep gel in the fridge for an extra cooling effect—your skin will thank you.

Why Ice Packs and Toothpaste Are a Bad Idea

It’s tempting to use household items, but ice packs can actually damage already fragile skin. Toothpaste and home remedies often contain harsh chemicals or menthol that irritate sunburns. Stick to purpose-made soothing gels with proven ingredients instead.

Choosing a Gel That Won't Let You Down

Check the Ingredient List

If you see alcohol, menthol, or perfumes near the top, put it back on the shelf. Natural extracts like calendula, chamomile, or cucumber are good signs of a gentle formula.

Texture Matters

Thick gels may feel sticky and trap heat. Opt for lightweight, non-greasy gels that absorb quickly and leave your skin feeling cool, not tacky.

Common Mistakes with Sunburned Skin

• Scrubbing or exfoliating sunburned areas
• Using petroleum jelly (can trap heat)
• Skipping hydration—your skin’s repairing and needs extra moisture
