Sunburns

Skin cancer affects more than two million Americans each year. To protect yourself from harmful UV rays, you should try to stay out of direct sunlight during the peak hours of 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Cover up by wearing hats, sunglasses, and long-sleeved-shirts, or hanging out under shade, and follow these tips for buying and applying sunscreen.

If you do happen to get burned, sponge your skin with cooled chamomile tea since it contains great anti-inflammatory properties, or apply aloe vera gel.
