First-degree (superficial-thickness) burns — first-degree burns (also called superficial burns) involve only the top layer of skin. They are painful, dry, and red, and blanch when pressed (picture 1). These burns do not form a blister and generally heal in three to six days without any scarring.

• Don't pop or pick them
• Cool the burn
• If the burn is painful, take ibuprofen
• It's OK to use a moisturizer or aloe gel on the blisters
• Protect your skin from sun while it's healing from the burn
• Drink extra water to help prevent dehydration

Sunburn blisters can be very painful and take around 1 week to heal. This type of burn also increases the risk of skin cancer and melanoma. After the blisters heal, blister scars that appear as dark or light spots on the surface of the skin can remain visible for 6–12 months.

Blisters protect the skin underneath as they heal. If they get peeled off, the skin can get infected.

• Cool water. Sunburn, basically, is inflammation of the skin
• Baking soda and oatmeal
• Aloe vera
• Chamomile tea
• Vinegar
• Wear loose clothing
• Drink lots of water
• Don't forget the moisturizer

The more severely you burn, the longer it will take for your body to replace the damaged layer of skin. Mild sunburn symptoms usually clear in 3 to 5 days , while more severe burns may take a couple of weeks.

• Cold compresses. Apply a clean, lint-free cold towel or washcloth several times a day for 10-15 minutes
• Vinegar. Cider vinegar can promote healing and restore pH balance
• Essential oils
• Oatmeal
• Coconut oil
• Aloe vera
• Witch hazel
• Cucumbers

But the potential for getting sunburn at 5 p.m. And after does still exist. 'there are still some uv rays being emitted from the sun after 4 p.m.,' she says.
