Sunburn on face can appear on both side or one side of the face, most times on the cheeks. It always appear black or red on the cheeks or under the eye.
A lot of women in Africa suffer from sunburn on face mostly because of the harsh weather condition caused by the sun and the use of chemical based products on face.
Most Women try to get rid of sunburn using harsh chemical base Products which end up making it worst.
My advice is if you notice sunburn on your face, avoid chemical or alcohol based products because it only makes it worst and take a longer time to fade when you start using the right treatment.
