How does your pore get blackheads
Hi,
First of all we would like to advise the correct usage of a good SPF50+ Sunscreen and maintain good sun-care to avoid sun damage. If the damage has already been caused, we would recommend the application of a soothing aftersun preparation to relieve pain and inflammation.
Take cool showers on the lowest pressure possible to soothe your skin and remove any chlorine or salt residue that might cause further irritation.
Always avoid using soap on sunburned skin, as it can be irritating. QV Gentle Wash is one such soap-free cleanser; however the product does not have the capacity to provide relief to sunburnt skin. A cool bath with QV Bath Oil is a great way to help rehydrate your skin. Gently pat dry with a towel after bathing, as rubbing can also be irritating.

In the case of a truly severe burn, medical treatment is necessary. Call a doctor if sunburn results in a high fever, visual photosensitivity, pus, very large blisters, or if the burn doesn’t start to heal within a few days.
