Singapore's scorching sun is no stranger to leaving us with unwanted sunburn. While a healthy tan might be desirable, sunburn is a sign of damaged skin and needs proper care to prevent further irritation and discomfort. Here's your ultimate guide to soothing sunburn aftercare, featuring the hero treatment – our SOS Soothing Treatment by Glomax Aesthetics!

Understanding Sunburn

Sunburn occurs when ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun damage the skin's cells. This damage triggers inflammation, leading to redness, pain, and sometimes even blistering. The severity of sunburn depends on the amount of sun exposure, your skin type, and your natural defenses.

SOS for Sunburnt Skin

The key to sunburn aftercare is to focus on soothing the inflammation and promoting healing. Here's where the SOS Soothing Treatment from Glomax Aesthetics comes in:

• Double Dose of Relief: Formulated with two powerful ingredients – Abyssine® 657 and calendula oil which helps calm irritation, reduce redness, soothes and promotes healing.
• Gentle Enough for Sensitive Skin: Sunburnt skin is already compromised, so the SOS Soothing Treatment's gentle formula is ideal for providing relief without further irritation.
  

At-Home Aftercare Tips

While the SOS Soothing Treatment offers a powerful solution, here are some additional aftercare tips you can follow at home:

Escape the Heat

Stay indoors or seek shade whenever possible. Singapore's hot and humid weather can worsen sunburn, so give your skin a break from the harsh conditions.

Cool Down

Take a lukewarm bath or shower to soothe the burning sensation. Avoid hot water, as it can further irritate your skin.

Hydrate from Within and Out

Drink plenty of fluids to replenish lost fluids and keep your skin hydrated. Apply a fragrance-free, aloe vera-based moisturizer to cool and soothe your skin.

Loose Clothing is Key

Wear loose-fitting, breathable clothing made from natural fibers like cotton. Avoid tight-fitting clothes that can irritate your sunburn.

Don't Pop Blisters

If you develop blisters, resist the urge to pop them. Popping blisters can increase your risk of infection. Let them heal naturally and keep the area clean.

Preventing Sunburn

The best way to deal with sunburn is to prevent it in the first place. Here are some essential sun protection tips for Singapore's climate:

Seek Shade

Plan your outdoor activities for early mornings or late afternoons when the sun's rays are less intense. Whenever possible, seek shade, especially during peak sun hours (10 am to 4 pm).

Sunscreen is a Non-Negotiable

Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher at least 15 minutes before going outdoors. Reapply sunscreen every two hours, or more frequently if you're sweating or swimming. Choose a water-resistant sunscreen for added protection.

Protective Clothing

Consider wearing sun-protective clothing, such as wide-brimmed hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved shirts and pants, to minimize sun exposure.

Embrace Singapore Sunshine Safely

By following these sunburn aftercare tips and incorporating the SOS Soothing Treatment from Glomax Aesthetics, you can soothe your sunburnt skin and promote faster healing. Remember, sun protection is key! With a little planning and the right products, you can enjoy Singapore's sunshine safely and keep your skin healthy and radiant.
