During the hot summer days, many people enjoy going to the beach to cool off, and in case of sunburn, they often choose to apply aloe vera gel for relief. However, the FDA points out that sunburn is a type of 'burn injury' and in one situation, using aloe vera gel should be avoided to prevent secondary damage. The FDA explained that sunburn is caused by the sun's UV rays damaging skin cells, leading to inflammation reactions. Mild sunburns can be soothed by aloe vera gel, but it does not prevent sunburns. It is recommended to enhance sun protection and avoid further sun exposure. For more severe sunburns, it is not suitable to use aloe vera products to avoid complications like infections. Unprocessed aloe vera juice should not be directly applied to sunburned skin; instead, sterilized and simple aloe vera products without fragrances or dyes are safer to use.
