Which After-Sun Oil Should You Choose for Soothed and Radiant Skin?
The sun—it’s best not to overdo it. Because it dries out the skin, because it causes sunburn, burns, and sometimes even skin conditions or worse, melanomas. So, being reasonable about your exposure time is a good resolution, as is asking yourself which after-sun oil could best soothe skin exposed to UV rays. Corine de Farme has the answer for you.
Why use an after-sun oil?
Even in small doses, the sun and its UV rays increase the risk of skin dehydration, cause heightened sensitivity to touch, redness, and an unpleasant feeling of tightness.
Thus, the benefits of after-sun oils counterbalance these undesirable effects. Highly moisturizing and soothing, they relieve the epidermis by providing the elements necessary for its beauty, suppleness, and to prolong your tan.
Moreover, their light and satiny texture enhances the skin without a greasy effect for a very aesthetic result, naturally shimmering under the sun and offering a most pleasant sensory experience.
Which After-Sun Oil for Which Benefits?
Dry oils, which are light and non-greasy, are perfect for quick application and immediate absorption; ideal for normal to combination skin or if you want a satin finish.
Rich oils intensely nourish the epidermis and are particularly suitable for dry or sun-damaged skin. They can be replaced by a balm, which often has a fresher and lighter texture.
As for soothing oils, you’ll find well-known active ingredients such as aloe vera and chamomile, which calm irritation and reduce redness after sun exposure. Here, Corine de Farme’s nourishing after-sun oil for body and hair stands out: nourishing and soothing, it’s a must-have to take everywhere with you.
There are also tan-extending oils, enriched with Tahitian monoi or carrot extracts, which enhance the skin and help maintain the radiance of your tan. Note that Corine also offers its protective dry oil, SPF 30!
The Essential Active Ingredients in After-Sun Oils
Aloe vera, in particular, is known for its natural and immediate soothing effect on redness and irritation. But Corine de Farme’s Sacrées Natures have more than one trick up their sleeve and more than one natural-origin ingredient to benefit your skin.
Thus, our after-sun oils contain plant oils such as monoi to nourish and repair the skin barrier. Let’s also mention argan or coconut oils, which are just as effective and have deliciously sweet scents.
On that note, the vast majority of our after-sun products are enriched with 100% natural plant extracts and are paraben-free, because Corine de Farme is actively committed to avoiding controversial ingredients in its formulas, all tested under dermatological control.
When and How to Add an After-Sun Oil to Your Routine?
Of course, after-sun oil is mainly used in spring and summer, when the weather is warm and sunny and you spend time outdoors. The ideal time to apply it is right after your shower for immediate comfort and instant relief. It can also be used at any time of day for targeted touch-ups on dry or irritated areas.
Finally, you can enjoy it all year round, in the evening, as part of your soothing ritual, to promote skin regeneration overnight.
And above all, don’t hesitate to nourish your skin for several days or even several weeks after prolonged sun exposure to keep your skin supple and hydrated and your tan glowing!
