Calm and Care for Sun Kissed Skin with Aftersun Lotions
There’s nothing quite like a day in the sunshine for a beautifully bronzed glow but once you come inside we still want you to look chic whilst staying cool. Aftersun is an essential part of a tanning routine so that skin stays hydrated, any sunburn is cooled down and redness is relieved. We have a wide range of refreshing and soothing Aftersun products from top brands including NIVEA, Ambre Solaire and Lancaster.
Lazy summer days are nothing short of blissful and although a big dose of Vitamin D is great for you, the sun also causes cellular damage even if you don’t look burnt. Not only will aftersun slow down the signs of ageing but also help maintain your tan for longer by keeping skin hydrated. Apply after sun products every time you’ve been in the sun to soothe and hydrate. For best results reapply daily for 3 to 5 days post exposure to lock in moisture and maintain your tan’s glow.
What Causes Sun Damaged Skin?
UV rays break down your skin’s collagen and elastin causing dryness, dark spots and uneven texture. Frequent unprotected sun exposure especially during peak hours 10am to 4pm speeds up this damage.
How After Sun Products Help Prevent Sun Damage
After sun products are your skin’s best friend post sun exposure, soothing and hydrating to reduce UV induced dryness. Aftersun is formulated to restore hydration and sooth your skin after sunburn and sun exposure. You can apply aftersun to sunburnt skin as often as needed. Doing this, will keep the skin moisturised and supple, helping speed up recovery and restoring your skin's natural barrier. Most aftersun lotions can be kept in the fridge to help cool sunburn. Look out for key ingredients such as Aloe Vera which are known to help reduce inflammation.
