Summer is the time of the sun, seas and rest, but sometimes it leaves unpleasant traces in the form of sunburn. Neglecting skin protection can lead not only to pain, but also to serious consequences.
Nevertheless, nature took care of tools that can help us recover. Eatthis.com says some ordinary products have powerful properties that can facilitate burns and accelerate the skin healing.
Sweet potato
Use one inner battery and the other external. A welded and purified braid can be applied to the affected areas of the skin to cool it and stimulate healing. Prepare another battle for dinner-it is rich in vitamin C and beta carotene. These antioxidants not only support immunity, but also improve the stability of the skin to ultraviolet light.
According to German researchers from the Institute of Ecological Medicine in Dusseldorf, beta-carotene helps to protect the skin from solar radiation.
Green tea
Chilled infusion of green tea can be applied to the skin: thanks to Tanin, it reduces pain and burn. But internal use has long advantages. The food magazine reports that tea polyphenols slow down the development of skin cancer associated with ultraviolet light (at least in laboratory mice).
Cucumbers
These crispy vegetables make up 95% of water, so they moisturize you not only from the inside. Use pieces of cucumber to compress in the affected areas – they will reduce dryness and calm the skin. And do not rush to clean them: the skin contains the largest amount of vitamin C, which strengthens the skin.

Sweets can also be useful. Dark chocolate is rich in flavonols, it can protect your skin from harmful ultraviolet rays.
The journal of cosmetic dermatology published a study that showed that regular consumption of such chocolate reduces the sensitivity of the skin to the sun. Moreover, this helps the skin remain moisturized and soft.

Oats is an excellent source of autonantras, rare antioxidants that fight free radicals and vitamin D. According to the dermatology studies, the consumption of large doses of vitamin D within an hour after ultraviolet can be reduced. And chilled oatmeal perfectly soothes the skin when using.
Tomatoes
If the skin becomes a ripe tomato, it’s time to eat some real. These vegetables moisturize and reduce inflammation and protect the skin. All thanks to Likopin – a powerful antioxidant. The study in the nutrition journal proves that lycopines counteracts the harmful effects of ultraviolet rays.
Buttermilk
Pahta is not only a cool drink, but also a natural sedative. He can be drunk or added to the bath – cools, moisturizes and reduces skin irritation after a burn. For the best effect, add a little tomato juice.
Pomegranate
To minimize cell damage after a sunbathing, pay attention to grenades. This fruit is rich in antioxidants with powerful anti -inflation properties. Texas scientists A&M proved that regular grenade consumption can help heal the skin after burns.
White vinegar
