Is CBD useful for treating sunburn? If you’ve ever asked yourself this question after “getting burned” on a sunny day, you should keep an eye on this blog, because we’ll tell you TO-DO!
CBD for sunburn
Summer is approaching and whatever your skin is like, we are sure that some sunburn regardless of your age, skin type you have passed.
But what are sunburns?
These burns are a way for the skin to repair the damage caused by exposure to UVA and UVB rays. And obviously there are ways to prevent us from burning our skin, but there are always some absent-minded people who believe that by applying SPF once in the morning we are already cured.
How to prevent sunburn?
We think that applying sunscreen in the morning is more than enough to prevent sunburn, but no!
The first thing we must take into account is to avoid the hours of maximum sun exposure (12 am-16:00 pm). It is also very important to make use of caps, caps or hats. And of course we should use SPF, but not just any and once… no friend!
We must make use of high sun protection factors (SPF 50+) regardless of your age and skin type. Also, don’t think that applying a little cream is enough… We must use two fingers of sunscreen for the face and be very generous with the whole body. This should be repeated every 2 hours or after each bath.
Effects of sunburn on your skin
Raise your hand if you think that after spending a day at the beach you haven’t been burned and when you take a shower… Welcome red prawn…
The impact of ultraviolet rays can manifest up to 24 hours after exposure. A moderate amount of sun can be beneficial, but too much can lead to:
•Inflammation
•Blisters
• Physical discomfort
• Peeling skin
•Itching
•Nausea
•Chills
•Fever
•Vomiting
But the good thing is that you don’t have to suffer in silence. There are actually many remedies that you can use to relieve the discomfort caused by sunburn. And, thanks to the large number of cannabinoid receptors in our skin, CBD is a substance that has attracted the attention of both sun lovers and researchers in the preclinical studies that you can see in the bibliographic references.
