A sunburn happens when your skin gets too much ultraviolet (UV) radiation. Use sunscreen or sun-protective clothing to prevent it, and take steps to help your skin heal if it does occur.

Bruises happen when small blood vessels under the skin break, trapping blood without breaking the skin. They can be unsightly and are more common with sun damage, aging, medications, or low Vitamin C or K. Over-the-counter options can help.
