Brilio.net - Sunburn is a skin condition that occurs due to excessive exposure to ultraviolet (UV) rays from the sun. When the skin is exposed to UV rays, especially UVB, the outer layer of the skin (epidermis) can be damaged, causing inflammation and redness.
Sunburn is usually characterized by red, sore or hot skin, and can be accompanied by swelling or peeling skin a few days after exposure to the sun. In more severe cases, sunburn can cause wounds or blisters on the skin.
The main cause of facial sunburn is excessive exposure to UV rays, either when sunbathing in direct sunlight or when doing outdoor activities without sufficient protection.
UV rays can damage the DNA of skin cells, which triggers inflammation and accelerates the aging process of the skin, as well as increasing the risk of skin cancer. Even on cloudy days or when the weather is not too hot, UV rays can still damage the skin, so protection such as sunscreen is still necessary.
Sunburn on the face is not only risky to cause pain, but it can also reduce the health of the skin in the long term. Repeated exposure to damaging UV rays can cause wrinkles, dark spots, and other skin conditions associated with premature aging.
In addition, the risk of skin cancer, including melanoma, will increase with the frequency and duration of sun exposure without proper protection. This condition can certainly make sufferers less confident and uncomfortable. It is no wonder that many are looking for ways to relieve it, from undergoing treatment at a beauty clinic, to using skincare sold on the market.
In fact, there is a way that is no less effective than treatments at beauty clinics and using expensive skincare sold on the market. The reason is, this method only relies on natural ingredients, as shared by a TikTok user with the account name @rifka.february.

Ingredients and benefits of aloe vera to treat sunburn due to sun exposure.
Aloe vera can treat sunburned skin due to its rich content of anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, and natural healing compounds. Aloe vera gel contains aloin and acemannan, which have anti-inflammatory properties to relieve inflammation and pain in sunburned skin.
In addition, aloe vera also has a high water content, to maintain the moisture of dry and irritated skin due to UV exposure. The cooling properties of aloe vera gel provide a soothing effect that immediately reduces heat and irritation.
Aloe vera can also speed up the process of skin cell regeneration, thus helping the skin recover faster and reducing peeling. Therefore, aloe vera is an effective natural ingredient for treating sunburned skin and speeding up healing.
