If your skin feels hot or itchy after being exposed to the sun, you should apply a cold compress to lower the skin temperature and reduce damage, and the sooner the better. Compared with ordinary cold compresses with cold water, external application of cold milk is more effective. It can be regarded as an effective folk remedy for minor sunburns because the acidity of milk has an anti-inflammatory and astringent effect on the skin.

　　The specific method is to put the milk into the cold storage compartment of the refrigerator and refrigerate it at a temperature of 4 to 10°C. Milk at this temperature is most suitable for cold compresses. Soak a clean towel or gauze in cold milk, twist it until no water drips, and apply it on the sunburned skin. When the sunburn area is large, you can use a small towel to apply cold compress. When the sunburn area is small, you can use 4 to 8 layers of gauze to apply cold compress. Soak in milk every 5 minutes and apply for 30 to 60 minutes, 2 to 3 times a day. If this continues for about 3 days, the sunburned skin will be repaired. If there is no refrigerated milk, you can also use milk mixed with cold boiled water for cold compress.

　　Some people like to use vegetable and fruit juice as a cold compress, but this may cause skin allergies, while cold milk is relatively safe for external application. Do not touch hot water after sunburn, do not use soap, soap, shower gel, etc. to irritate the skin, and do not use skin care products for the time being.
