What to do immediately if you get a sunburn (and what you should absolutely avoid)

It is HOT out there, guys.

And no matter how careful we are, and how often we apply suncream, sometimes those pesky rays will have us feeling a little crisp at the end of a day in the sun. And if this happens, you need to act fast to minimise damage, according to a dermatologist. New York City–based dermatologist Debra Jaliman has a fool-proof routine for treating, relieving, and repairing a sunburn, and here is her best advice: 1. Re-hydrate ASAP Getting burnt by the sun doesn't just take its toll on your skin, it will dehydrate your whole body, so make sure to drink plenty in the hours and days after a sun burn. As well as water, you can try to eat foods that contain a lot of water, like cucumbers, watermelon and berries.
