Homemade After-Sun: The Benefits of Natural Care!

An after-sun product is designed to hydrate and repair the epidermis after damage caused by the sun. If you’re not at the stage of burns or sunburn, you can simply apply a basic after-sun care, which works perfectly well if used regularly. Grandma’s remedies also work and are simple and economical!

Cucumber to refresh!

When you eat cucumber, you love its thirst-quenching and refreshing qualities. Well, it’s the same for your skin! Cucumber, full of water and nutrients, provides an immediate cooling effect on your skin. Apply a few slices of cucumber to your face or shoulders and leave them on for a few minutes. You can also grate it to get juice. Then, apply it as a toner!

Aloe vera to soothe

Aloe vera works wonders on skin irritated by the sun. Its moisturizing and anti-inflammatory properties help sun-damaged skin rehydrate and regenerate. You can mix aloe vera juice with a few drops of soothing essential oils like lavender. This solution should be kept in the refrigerator and sprayed as often as possible on the skin, avoiding the eyes.

And the homemade mask for a magical after-sun effect!

If you prefer a natural recipe or have run out of after-sun care, this grandma’s recipe will win you over! Spread plain yogurt on the area that feels burnt and add melon pulp and tomato slices on top.
