How can I take care of my skin after sun exposure?
The first step in healing skin after sun exposure is to take a cool shower to help soothe the burning sensation. After your shower immediately use an after-sun moisturizer to cool the skin while also rehydrating it. Finally, in the days following sun exposure, make sure to drink plenty of water to help hydrate your skin and body.
What is the best product for after-sun care?
One of the most gentle and effective after-sun products is After-Sun Care by Sisley Paris. This product is a skincare product for the body that has been specifically formulated to soothe, hydrate and instantly refresh the skin after exposure to sun. Additionally, this product helps extend the length of a tan.
Is after-sun care just moisturizer?
While both after-sun and moisturizer seek to rehydrate the skin, after-sun is traditionally made up of a lighter cream, lotion, or gel and does not create a barrier between the skin and the environment. With a barrier, like what moisturizers make, heat gets trapped inside causing the skin to experience a sensation of prolonged burning. This is why it's especially important to invest in after-sun care!
