A little sun is good, but too much can stress the skin. To help it calm down and regenerate quickly, the right after-sun care is crucial. Here are some simple but super effective tips:
Cold showers instead of hot baths
Sun means stress, and hot showers stress even more. Better: a cool to lukewarm shower. This helps to soothe the skin, alleviate redness, and reduce itching after sun exposure.
Patting instead of rubbing
After showering, please do not scrub your skin with a towel. Gentle patting is the better choice, as it doesn't irritate the skin further. And that's exactly what your skin needs extra care for now.
Moisture, moisture, moisture
Heat drains a lot of water from the skin. What it needs now: lots of moisture. Reach for a light but intensely nourishing after-sun product – preferably with soothing or moisturizing ingredients like Panthenol or Niacinamide.
For cleansing, use our Magic Melting Cleansing Balm to remove sweat and sunscreen residue from the day. Due to the nourishing oils, the skin is also intensely hydrated during cleansing.
You can also use the Re-Balance Cream Cleanser for facial cleansing to gently rid the skin of dirt and excess sebum and promote the skin's moisture content.
Drinking plenty supports the skin from within
After-sun care doesn't just start on the skin. Give your body enough water to replenish lost moisture from within. Your skin will thank you.
Avoid fragrances
After sun exposure, your skin needs rest. Therefore, you should opt for fragrance-free products. Fragrances can quickly cause irritation, especially on sun-stressed skin. Fragrance-free care is gentle and exactly what irritated skin needs now.
Don't forget sun protection
Even if it's cloudy the next day: UV rays are always present. Continue to consistently protect your skin with suitable sun protection – this gives it the rest it needs to fully regenerate. Also avoid direct sunlight.
