Sunburn, especially severe sunburn, needs immediate attention.
Signs and symptoms of sunburn usually appear within a few hours after excess sun exposure. You may experience swelling, blisters and peeling. Itchy sunburn skin or pain accompanying it needs treatment. If the sunburn covers a large area then a headache, fever and fatigue may result.
What Do Sunburns Do to the Skin?
Sunburns are caused by exposure to excessive ultraviolet (UV) light. Commercial tanning lamps and tanning beds also produce UV light and can cause sunburn. Any part of your body, including your scalp, earlobes and lips, can burn, even on a cloudy or hazy day.
Your skin increases melanin production when exposed to UV light. Melanin is the dark pigment in the epidermis that gives your skin its normal color. It is the extra melanin that creates your tan. See your doctor if the sunburn blisters and covers a large portion of your body, or is accompanied by a high fever, extreme pain, confusion, nausea or chills.
Aside from the pain, peeling and itching of a severe sunburn, overexposure can contribute to "weathered" or wrinkled skin, especially on the face.
How Aloe Vera, Rose Hips Oil, Comfrey Leaf and Ginseng Root Extract and Hyaluronic Acid Can Help When Your Have A Sunburn
InfiniteAloe® Skin Care contains many ingredients, including organic Aloe Vera (Aloe Barbadensis Miller) to care for your burnt skin. Organic Aloe Vera contains eight life-giving enzymes, 20 powerful amino acids, and sterols of potent anti-inflammatory agents as well as strong saponins that act as antiseptics. Saponins are known to be particularly helpful in pain relief. There are many reports that saponins elevate the body's production of cortisone, which reduces irritation, tenderness, and swelling.

Studies suggest that Rose Hips Oil, Panax Ginseng Root Extract and Comfrey Leaf extract that are also key ingredients of InfiniteAloe® Skin Care that can soothe and cool your sunburn and speed skin repair.
InfiniteAloe® Skin Care also contains a cutting-edge, natural ingredient called Sodium Hyaluronate (or Hyaluronic Acid), which is the key water regulating substance in the skin. Widely used by celebrities and injected by doctors for expensive beauty treatments, when applied to the skin, it can form an air permeable layer to keep the skin moist and smooth. Small molecular weight Hyaluronic Acid can penetrate into the dermis layer, fully combine with water, promote skin blood microcirculation and nutrient absorption and maintain normal metabolism. As a result, it can play a role in wrinkle reduction, better-appearing skin and sunburn recovery.

I experienced an instant relief once I put the cream on and I wasn't in as much pain from my burn. This cream is now what I use under my sunscreen when I go to the beach."
