Assaulted by UVB rays? We’re here to help relieve your sunburn!

You come back from the beach, hop in the shower, and as you dry off, surprise: you’re bright red! Yes, the sun can be tricky and might not have warned you earlier that you were burning… While UVA rays of short wavelengths can be responsible for sunburns, it’s likely a mischievous prank by UVB rays that you’re dealing with! Priority now: soothing that burn!

How to soothe your sunburn?

Objective #1: Alleviate pain and limit the extent of the burn

The first good move for sunburns is cold! Firstly, it helps relieve pain and swelling caused by the burn. Due to the sunburn effect, your skin turns red: a sign of skin inflammation and blood vessel dilation. Cold acts as a vasoconstrictor to improve blood circulation. It also helps limit the spread of the burn. Even if you are no longer exposed, your skin continues to burn.

Climsom offers a selection of cooling products to chill and soothe your sunburn with the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory effects of cold:

Refreshing masks for the face and eyes

Pre-chilled in the refrigerator, cooling masks are ideal for refreshing the entire face. The face, with its skin surface constantly exposed to sunlight, is often prone to sunburns.

Climsom Cool hot/cold packs

You didn’t apply your sunscreen properly and now your sunburn looks like a collection of small independent strips? Cold/hot packs (used cold in this case, obviously!) are perfect for targeting small areas. Place them in the refrigerator before use.

CoolPad XL Gel

An auto-cooling over-pillow, the CoolPad XL Gel, due to its large size, covers much larger areas such as the back, arms, or legs. Filled with a self-cooling gel, it also has a high thermal absorption capacity.

VolcaNuque

A 2-in-1 cervical cushion (usable hot or cold), the VolcaNuque is ideal for relieving sunburn on your neck and shoulders. Composed of water, gel, and notably 8% volcanic stones, it ensures good support and effective cooling diffusion.

H2J Serum

The H2J Serum, a hydrogenated water spray, acts as a pocket mist with numerous benefits. In this case, it begins by refreshing your skin through direct water misting and then aids in skin repair. It reduces free radicals (which contribute to aging and skin degradation) and increases collagen synthesis (responsible for skin reconstruction and elasticity). The benefits of hydrogenated water for sun-exposed skin, and more generally for skin health, are numerous!

These products are portable and fit in your cooler, offering comfort and prevention throughout your summer days, especially for avoiding heat strokes in children!

Lucille’s review on refreshing masks for the face and eyes:

« I just bought the masks and they’re very pleasant to use in the heat. My pores are less visible (usually a disaster after 2 weeks in the sun!), and my face feels cooler and more relaxed!« 

Objective #2: Relieve discomfort from heavy, swollen legs due to heat

In cases of intense sunburns, swelling, particularly in the legs, can occur. This swelling is caused by the dilation of blood vessels due to the heat of the burn (vasodilation). This dilation leads to venous insufficiency and can cause a feeling of heavy legs.

Cold therapy here has a vasoconstrictive effect, meaning it works to « tighten » blood vessels, thereby exerting pressure to improve blood circulation. To apply cold therapy to the entire surface of your legs without taking a shower, we recommend using the CoolPad XL Gel. Its size, twice as large as traditional cooling pillows, allows you to wrap it around your legs. If you happen to have two legs (as most people do!), we offer a pack of 2 CoolPad XL Gel. This way, you can enjoy the benefits of cold therapy while remaining on your bed or sofa, reading or watching TV.

Objective #3: Soothe headaches and reduce fever

A particularly sunny day may leave you with a headache. The accumulated heat from sunburns or sun exposure throughout the day could be the cause. Severe cases might even lead to fever. To relieve headaches and reduce fever without medication, cold therapy again comes into play.

For migraine relief, consider Climsom’s range of cooling over-pillows. Placed on your pillow or inside your pillowcase, they absorb body heat and release intense coolness for hours. These pillows are self-cooling: once saturated, set them aside to regain their cooling effect! For extra chill, refrigerate them!

Choose your cooling pillow

For a firm pillow, try CoolPad Crystal, filled with crystals that liquefy by absorbing body heat.

CoolPad Mousséo, filled with foam and water, offers a softer surface.

Twice as large, CoolPad XL Gel effectively relieves headaches and can also ease shoulders and upper back. Who hasn’t had a « tank top sunburn » from the last barbecue!

Christine’s review on CoolPad Mousseo
« I’ve been using it for weeks now, and I confirm it stays cool all night long (until morning). Nothing to complain about.« 

Nadine’s review on CoolPad Crystal
« A true head cooler. Just put it inside the pillowcase, and you feel the coolness within seconds. It helps me fall asleep easier and stays cool for most of the night. »

Objective #4: Achieve a good night’s sleep!

Finding a comfortable position with sunburns isn’t easy! Besides sensitivity and pain from sunburns, you may feel overall body heat spreading. It’s definitely a challenge to sleep, especially with the summer heat!

Summer has brought heatwaves, making sleeping a challenge? Climsom’s air-conditioned mattress pad controls your bed’s temperature precisely! The coolness helps ease falling asleep and, in the case of sunburns, acts on your entire body! A dual benefit during summer!

A little sunburn? This time, the brief skin peeling period serves as a reminder to better protect yourself next time! Still, hydrate your skin well to avoid prolonged punishment! Long-term, extended sun exposure without adequate protection could lead to serious consequences: skin fragility, premature aging, skin cancers… Despite the available solutions for relieving sunburns, prevention is always better! Always remember to protect your skin with suitable sunscreen before and during each exposure! For sunstroke? Cap, hat… protect your head!
