Every year in cities throughout Texas, locals gather to watch parades, eat, shop, play games and â most importantly â to view the brilliant new crops of wildflowers. The most common symbolism for the bluebonnet flower is, of course, pride in the state of Texas. Though these blossoms may be given to celebrate state-related events, they are also given as gifts for their simple, stunning beauty.
Avoid using harsh cleansers or exfoliates. Soap can be very drying to skin, and when you have a sunburn, you want your skin to stay as moisturized as possible to promote healing and prevent peeling. Keep the soap use to a minimum, being sure to avoid using it on particularly burned areas of your skin.
Once you get out of the shower and dry your skin, apply a moisturizing lotion. Look for a moisturizer that is specifically designed to work on sunburn or peeling skin. Generally, the lotion should contain aloe vera, which will cool your skin, reduce inflammation and slow the peeling. Aloe vera is a natural cactus extract that has long been hailed for its soothing properties.
