If you have a sunburn, it’s important to cancel or reschedule your massage appointment.

Here’s why:

Getting a massage when you have a sunburn is a recipe for intense discomfort and can actually damage your skin further.

1. Some oils and lotions can trap heat inside your skin, mimicking the effects of a thermal burn and potentially making the sunburn feel worse and last longer.

2. A sunburn means your blood vessels are already dilated and engorged to help the skin heal. Adding more blood flow and physical manipulation to the area can increase swelling, throbbing, and inflammation.

3. If your sunburn is severe enough to cause peeling or blistering, your skin's protective barrier is broken. Massage can introduce bacteria from lotions or hands into these micro-tears, increasing your risk of a skin infection.

if you have a moderate-to-severe sunburn, it is best to reschedule your appointment for a week or two later once the skin has fully recovered. Your body is already working hard to heal!
