Do you regularly use the sunbed or do you enjoy lying in the sun during the warm summer months? We agree with you, but it is important to properly protect and care for your skin. In addition to sunscreen, you also need good after-sun. But is after-sun after tanning really necessary? And what is a good after-sun? In this blog we will tell you everything you want to know about aftersun!
Is after sun necessary?
The most important and frequently asked question is and remains whether aftersun is really necessary. We have one clear answer to that: yes, you really need good after-sun after you have exposed your body to UV radiation. Preferably do not opt for a regular body lotion or very greasy products, but for an after-sun after a water-based tanning bed. Fatty products actually retain heat, while you want to get rid of them as quickly as possible. This is especially important in the first hours after the combustion!
After sun with moisturizing substances
You have probably noticed that almost all after-sun products contain various moisturizing substances. This includes glycerin and hyaluronic acid, barrier-restoring substances such as niacinamide, calming substances such as pathenol, licorice root and beta-glucan. These substances not only ensure that the moisture balance in the skin is restored, but also strengthen the barrier function and soothe your skin. Whether you are looking for an after-sun face or an after-sun after tanning bed for your entire face, choose an after-sun with moisturizing substances and apply a layer of cream every few hours after the sunburn.
Can you also use after sun on your face?
Many sun lovers hesitate to use after-sun facials, but this can do no harm. Especially if you choose an after sun after water-based tanning bed. Extra tip: use a Hyaluron Serum as a base. This gives your face a boost of moisture, so that your red and sensitive skin will recover faster.
