The best way to deal with sunburn is to avoid getting it completely, by using a broad spectrum SPF of 30 or higher applied liberally and often.

Add in a hat, some shady seating and sunglasses and you have the tools for a sunburn-free summer.

But if you do get burned (and who hasn't at least once?), here are a few helpful tips to cool the fire.

With so many good sunscreen options available for every skin type, there is no excuse not to use it. But sunscreen isn't the only factor to prevent sunburn. Truly protect you and your family from skin cancer by seeking shade if possible, wear hats and sunglasses, and avoid the sun when the ultraviolet rays are at their most powerful, between 10am and 2pm.
