How long does it take for your skin to return to normal after a sunburn

Recovery time after sunburn varies from person to person. Normally, mild sunburns usually take 2 to 3 days to recover gradually, while more serious ones take 1 week or more.
Sunburn is an acute inflammatory reaction that occurs after the normal skin receives an excessive amount of ultraviolet rays. Sunburn will lead to peeling, redness, swelling, pain and other phenomena, and the recovery time is different due to different personal constitution. Generally speaking, mild sunburn needs 2~3 days of gradual recovery, the more serious degree of sunburn needs 1 week, or even more than 1 week, and the serious ones need about 2 weeks.
Sunburn should be treated under the guidance of a doctor if it is not relieved for a long period of time. Pay attention to sun protection, avoid exposure to the sun, and use physical coverings when you go out.
