15 Ways In How to Get Rid of a Sunburn

Select an appropriate SPF. A sunscreen's SPF measures how well it protects your skin from UVB rays compared to not wearing it. For example, if it normally takes 20 minutes for your skin to turn red, a product with SPF 15 will typically prevent sunburn for 15 times longer. You should use a product that has an SPF of at least 15.
