You dozed off poolside, and now your skin is the color of a
lobster. Although experts are unsure why, an oatmeal bath can help soothe skin and reduce inflammation. Fill your tub with tepid water, then grind a cup of dry instant oatmeal in a blender or food processor and scatter it in the water. (Finely ground oatmeal will seep into your skin more effectively.)

How does sunscreen protect your skin?
Most sunscreens have ingredients that absorb the energy in ultraviolet rays and emit it back as lower-frequency heat waves. The SPF number determines how much protection you get. The higher the SPF, the more ultraviolet rays the sunscreen is capable of absorbing and re-emitting.
