We all have regrets. Maybe it's the half dozen donuts you downed on your coffee break. Perhaps it's choosing to major in English literature your freshman year in college instead of going into the business school like everyone else. Or maybe it's forgetting to put sunscreen on your shoulders before going body surfing at the Jersey shore. While I don't have much advice about fried, circular confections or about majoring in the Humanities, I can give you some tips on what to do if you find yourself in dreaded post-sunburn agony.
Hydrate: This one is simple. Got a sunburn? Guzzle some water. The burn pulls water from your core to the surface of your skin; you'll want to replenish your internal reservoir. Try to avoid dehydrating drinks like soda, coffee, and alcohol. Stick with water and flavor it with lemon or cucumber instead.
Moisturize: Trap whatever water you can by applying a high quality moisturizer. Hydrate is not so much a moisturizer as it is a dermatological superfood. Nevertheless, rich with vitamins, it delivers all of the nourishment your skin needs after a bad baking session. Get it here!
Take Cover: This one might be a little tricky—especially if you're vacationing in the Bahamas—but once you're burned, try to stay out of direct sunlight. Rent or buy a big beach umbrella, don a wide-brimmed hat, and hug the shade!
GR8/SKN has also developed a topical solution for your sunburn woes: The Post-Sunburn Mocktail. This trifecta of sunburn relief includes Clean, Hydrate, and Reset. Use it at night after a day at the beach, a steamy tournament, or an extra sunny hiking adventure.
