Why use after-sun care?

When it comes to the sun, all you know how to do is tan! And you’re absolutely right… But admit it, most of the time you quickly regret it, risking burns and ending up with a very uneven tan!

The best thing is to ensure sun protection, which allows you to tan while avoiding sunburn. After-sun lotion is also an essential step, but one that is often neglected by many. Yet, it’s very important! So, why is it indispensable?

An after-sun to hydrate

With the sun, you get hot and you sweat. Your skin loses water through evaporation. At the end of the day, it feels tired and tight. So, you need to take the necessary steps to rehydrate it. One of the essential products is after-sun care. Thanks to its composition of moisturizing and nourishing agents like shea butter, ceramides, or even hyaluronic acid, it provides comfort through its hydrating and emollient effect.

After-sun care to repair

This care is also designed to repair the damage caused by the sun and free radicals that destroy cells. Moreover, UV rays trigger the release of free radicals within the dermis, which damage cells. After-sun care will help limit this damage. It often contains antioxidant ingredients such as vitamins A, E, and C… If you’ve already reached the sunburn stage, very red and blistered, after-sun care won’t do much for you.

After-sun: when should you apply it?

Don’t wait to apply it! As soon as you get home and take your shower, generously apply your after-sun care. You can reapply it a few hours later for a refreshing effect.
