Apply cold compresses with ice water or use non-coagulating cold compresses for immediate skin care; externally apply calamine lotion, zinc oxide ointment, or hydrocortisone cream; if necessary, concurrently take oral antihistamines like chlorpheniramine, corticosteroids like prednisone, and appropriate symptomatic treatments.

Tea Water: Gently dab tea-soaked cotton balls on sunburned areas to soothe skin and reduce burning sensations.The principle lies in the tannic acid within tea leaves, which possesses excellent astringent properties. It reduces tissue swelling and cellular exudation, proving highly effective for mild sunburn without blistering. For extensive sunburn, you can also add strong tea to a basin at home and soak the affected skin in the water for several minutes for more pronounced results.
Pearl Powder: For skin that has blistered or broken, mix pearl powder with honey into a paste. Apply it to the sunburned area for 15-20 minutes, then rinse off with water. After 2-3 applications, noticeable improvement should occur. Pearl powder possesses anti-inflammatory and tissue-regenerating properties for wounds, burns, and broken skin that won't heal, while honey provides excellent nourishment and moisture retention.Pearl powder mixed with honey also makes an excellent facial mask. Pearl powder promotes blood circulation and cell regeneration in the skin, effectively reducing acne and freckles while delaying skin aging. Adding egg white or vitamin E enhances its benefits.
