After Sun

After sun: Hydration after sun

We know that sunscreen is essential to protect our skin from the sun during exposure, but even so, our skin suffers and becomes dehydrated. After-sun is a moisturizing cream or lotion that repairs the damage caused by prolonged exposure to solar radiation. It comes in a light, easy-to-apply texture and is formulated with a host of ingredients that help care for and regenerate the skin.

No matter how much sunscreen we use, the sun, sea water, or chlorine can dehydrate our skin. In addition, the sun can cause burns and redness, which can cause itching and tightness. The big difference between aftersun and a moisturizer is that after-sun also contains soothing or anti-inflammatory ingredients. Another function of after-sun is that, in addition to enhancing a natural tan, it helps prolong its appearance on our skin.

Types of after-sun products: lotions, after-sun creams, gels, and more

Nowadays, after-sun products come in a wide variety of forms. They come in a variety of textures: lotions, creams, gels, sprays, ice-effect products, or even self-tanning products that enhance our tan. There are also so-called intensive after-sun products, which we use when we've suffered severe redness or sunburn.

Active ingredients of after sun

When choosing an after-sun product, it's a good idea to carefully consider the active ingredients in the product, depending on your needs:

• Aloe vera has anti-inflammatory and regenerative properties. It will help soothe skin from sunburn.
• Shea butter keeps our skin hydrated, preventing blisters and peeling.
• Herbal extracts such as sage, menthol, mint, or camphor are refreshing ingredients that will help lower our skin temperature and provide a feeling of relief.
• L-tyrosine is an amino acid that is involved in the metabolic process of melanin synthesis, thus preparing the skin for the next exposure.
• The vitamins A and E they contain help delay the aging of the dermis.

Benefits of using after sun

• It prepares the skin for new exposures and makes our dermis more resistant to the sun.
