As the South West enjoys some of the warmest weather it's had for this year, many of us will be spending more time out in the sunshine.

It only takes one blistering sunburn to double a person’s chances of developing melanoma - a form of skin cancer - later in life, with 90 per cent thought to be caused by exposure to sun and UV light, according to Melanoma UK.
Sunburn can also be extremely painful and result in tenderness, blisters, swelling and even headaches, nausea and fatigue. TikTok users are promoting unusual hacks to try and lessen these symptoms after spending time in the sun.
