That blazing sunburn on your stomach or back can easily be covered up when you're not beachside, but a burnt face is a different story. To tone down your sunburned hue, makeup artist Misha Shahzada, of Artist & Agency says you need to rethink your regular skin care plan.

Skip your regular moisturizer if it's full of emollients like petroleum jelly or silicones, which can further irritate damaged skin. Instead, apply one that's formulated with natural moisturizing humectants, like aloe vera, or one with lactic acid, which will help turn over your damaged cells more quickly. To protect your extra-tender skin from further damage, use a sunscreen like, Dermalogica Super Sensitive Shield, $48, which is free of irritating chemicals. Or, try Avene Antirougeurs Day Redness-Relief Soothing Cream SPF 25, $36, which has a green tint to help mask redness.

To even out the redness, apply a yellow-based mineral foundation or powder, or a bronzer. Just be sure to skip anything shimmery, which will only make your burn more noticeable. Image Source: Pinterest

Skimpy clothes, swarms of bugs and sweetly scented lotions can only mean one thing: It's feeding time (and your skin is the main course). According to the CDC, the only bug repellents you should be using to ward of blood-thirsty pests will contain DEET, lemon eucalyptus oil or picardin. Forget the Skin So Soft and learn to love natural plant oils of the the rosemary, eucalyptus, clove and peppermint variety.

If you've already been bitten, (join the club), apply an ice cube to the mark to keep itching at bay and swelling down. Alternate one minute with the cube on and one minute with it off for 10 minutes. Dr. Marina Peredo, a dermatologist in Smithtown, N.Y., then recommends a drop of witch hazel to take out the itch and inflammation, and coconut oil to speed up the healing process. Just be sure to apply these natural remedies at home and indoors, because pleasant-smelling oils will attract more bugs once you step outside. If you're covering up a bump with makeup, thoroughly clean the bite first and pick a product with SPF. Image Source: Living Traditionally

What's that reddish rash slowly overtaking the awkward area below your armpit? If you haven't recently rubbed up against a poisonous shrub or eaten something you're allergic to, it's most likely a heat rash. The name implies it's caused by direct exposure to sunlight, but it's usually caused by fabrics that trap heat and suffocate and chafe your skin in the process. This trapped heat clogs your sweat ducts, which causes them to swell and itch.

Stick to breathable, cotton clothing when possible, stay away from any skin care products are full of oil, and try to keep any areas affected by heat rash dry. Get out of the heat, remove the clothing that's causing the problem and apply a cold compress. Then, apply like Skinfix Rash Repair Balm, $16.50, a natural balm (and summer beauty bummer cure-all) that heals a number of skin irritations sans steriods. Image Source: Pinterest
