You should learn how to treat a sunburn. And better yet: how to prevent one, too.
Some moisturizers contain occlusives like petroleum jelly or ceramides, but their use is a heated subject among skin experts. Chapas recommends these ingredients, as their sole purpose is to trap moisture and keep it close to the skin. On the other hand, Feely says petroleum-based options will trap heat along with moisture, making it far more difficult to release. Holman, meanwhile, recommends these products only in the late stages of a sunburn, when the skin has already started to peel.
Patch testing is probably the best way to know if you can benefit from a moisturizer with occlusives. Apply the product to a quarter-sized area of burned skin and wait for 10 to 20 minutes. If you get a heightened burning sensation on that spot, wash the product off carefully and use a moisturizer with a lighter gel or water-based formulation.
Finally, for extra soothing power, place your moisturizer in the fridge between uses—not the freezer. And stay away from ice packs, as the extreme change in temperature can result in even more pain. A sunburn on a sensitive patch of skin or an area that’s constantly stretching, like the back of your knees, usually results in a lot of pain. Like, a lot. If the cool showers and moisturizer are not helping as much as you’d like, it’s time to get reinforcements. .
