Is it better to leave my sunburned lips alone?

Answer by  baby75 (126)

Sunburned lips should be left alone if the blisters are closed. You can use cream or lotion containing aloe vera for smoothening the lips. Use wet clean cloth to dab the lip to give a cool feeling. To avoid getting sunburn apply sunscreen lotion or lotion contains aloe vera about half an hour before you get out in the sun.

If severely burnt consult a physician. However, if the burn is minor keeping it moist will facilitate the healing process.

If you leave your sunburned lips alone the top layer of skin will peel eventually which will hurt. The best thing to do is to get some 100% aloe gel or buy a small plant and break a branch off (you can keep the remainder refrigerated for quite some time) and keep your lips moistened with it.
