About Sunburn Relief

Discover how after-sun care supports your skin’s recovery

Sunburn damages the skin’s protective barrier, causing redness, heat, dehydration and eventual peeling. By applying soothing, hydration-focused formulas you can help reduce discomfort, calm inflammation and support the skin’s natural healing process.

Find your formula for soothing and repair

If your skin feels hot, red or irritated after sun exposure, choose a cooling gel or lightweight soothing cream with ingredients such as aloe vera, oat extract and glycerin. For skin that is peeling or dry after the burn, reach for richer creams with shea butter, ceramides and panthenol to rebuild the barrier and retain moisture.

Personalised advice on building your recovery routine

Apply your chosen after-sun product as soon as you notice sunburn, then continue daily until the skin returns to normal. Support your skin internally by staying hydrated and reducing further UV exposure. If your routine or skin concern is uncertain, contact us our expert team for guidance, explore further in our read our blog's sun-care insights, or take our free online skin test to tailor your recovery routine.

Drink plenty of water, avoid further sun exposure and choose fragrance-free, non-irritating products to help your skin recover. With the right care, your skin can return to feeling comfortable and calm in just a few days."

What To Do If You Get Sunburned

If there's one thing both my colleagues in clinic and I refuse to be without, it's sunblock! So there's no surprise that sun protection products are always the bestsellers at Face the Future. We all know that SPF is an absolute must, not only during the sunny days we've been experiencing lately, but also on the rainy days that we are more than used to during a typical British “summer!

Frequently Asked Questions

What helps relieve sunburn quickly?

Apply a cool compress to the skin, followed by a soothing product that contains aloe vera, colloidal oatmeal or cucumber extract. Hydration, gentle care and avoiding further sun exposure are key.

What skincare ingredients should I use after a sunburn?

Look for calming ingredients like aloe vera, panthenol, glycerin, shea butter and oat extract. These support hydration and help reduce inflammation while the skin heals.

Should I exfoliate peeling sunburned skin?

No, avoid exfoliation until your skin has fully healed. Let it peel naturally and focus on keeping the area moisturised and protected to avoid further irritation.

Can I use a regular moisturiser for sunburn relief?

You can, but it’s best to choose fragrance-free, alcohol-free formulas designed to be gentle on inflamed skin. Dedicated after-sun creams are often formulated to be more soothing.

When should I see a doctor for sunburn?

If you experience blisters, intense pain, fever, chills or nausea, or if a large area of your body is affected, seek medical attention. Severe sunburn may require prescription care.

Does aloe vera actually work for sunburn?

Yes. Aloe vera is a well-known ingredient for soothing sunburn. It helps cool the skin, reduce inflammation and speed up the healing process when applied regularly.

Can I wear makeup over a sunburn?

It’s best to avoid makeup while your skin is healing. Let your skin breathe and focus on hydration and recovery before applying any cosmetics.

Is SPF necessary after a sunburn?

Absolutely. Protecting sunburned skin with a mineral sunscreen helps prevent further damage and supports healing. Look for gentle, broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Can sunburn cause long-term skin damage?

Yes. Even one severe sunburn can increase your risk of premature ageing and skin cancer. That’s why sun protection and aftercare are so important.

What should I avoid putting on sunburned skin?

Avoid harsh cleansers, retinol, exfoliating acids, and anything with alcohol or synthetic fragrance. Stick to gentle, barrier-supporting products until skin recovers.
