Sunburn! The Problem of the Season!

While a warm day out in the sun can leave you feeling relaxed, the same can't always be said for your skin. Even if you do wear sunscreen, it's possible to return home with some unexpected burns. Depending on your skin's sensitivity, sunburn marks can take a while to fade, regardless of how many sugar scrubs you slather on in the shower. Hide sunburn marks with makeup while your skin returns to an even tone.

Step 1

Massage a mild cream cleanser into your skin and rinse with cool water. Gently blot your skin dry with a towel.
Step 2

Work a soothing moisturizer into your skin. Opt for a product that contains humectants and lactic acid; these ingredients help with the turnover of dead skin cells to help the sunburn fade more quickly.
Step 3

Apply sunscreen with SPF 30 to prevent the burn from getting worse.

Step 4

Use a damp sponge to dab a creamy foundation that matches your skin tone over the burn.

Step 5

Sweep a light layer of matte yellow-toned loose powder over the foundation to set it. The yellow works to neutralize redness.

Step 6

Use a large bronzer brush to apply a matte bronzer to the apples of your cheeks and sweep it up toward your hairline. This will help to counteract any remaining redness and impart a healthy-looking glow.
