A dermatologist at the Cleveland Clinic reminds us that sunburn can cause skin cancer, and some people are at higher risk than others. People with fair skin are most likely to develop skin cancer. Risk factors include red or blonde hair, light eyes, light freckles and a history of sunburn.
Sunburn can cause skin cancer, and some people are more at risk than others, the Cleveland Clinic reminds.
People with fair skin are most likely to develop skin cancer. Risk factors include red or blonde hair, light eyes, light freckles, and sunburn over the course of a lifetime.
The skin will be very sensitive because you have damaged a layer of skin. You should avoid anything that irritates the skin, like anti-aging or anti-acne products. You should be really gentle, so use a gentle cleanser to restore that barrier.
To avoid sunburn, check the UV index before going outside. A sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher is recommended. Sunscreen should be applied 30 minutes before going outside and every two hours thereafter.
