Use of aftersun and how to use

Aftersun is an essential product for skin care after sun exposure. Below you will find information about why it is useful and how to use it properly:

Why use aftersun?

Aftersun has several advantages for the skin after sun exposure:

• Hydration: Aftersun intensively moisturizes the skin, especially after it is dehydrated by the sun. It helps to retain moisture and restore the skin.
• Calm down: It contains soothing ingredients such as aloe vera, which have anti-inflammatory properties and help reduce redness and irritation.
• Recovery: Ingredients such as glycerin and vitamin E help to restore the natural moisture barrier of the skin and can help prevent peeling.
• Protection against free radicals: Antioxidants in aftersun, such as vitamins C and E, protect the skin from damage caused by free radicals resulting from exposure to UV rays.

Which aftersun to choose?

When choosing an aftersun product it is important to pay attention to the following ingredients:

• Aloe vera: For soothing and hydration of the skin.
• Glycerin: Helps to increase the hydration level of the skin.
• Vitamins: Like vitamin E for recovery and protection.
• Antioxidants: Protect against skin damage by the sun.
• Zinc: Helps to reduce irritation and inflammation.

Avoid products containing alcohol, perfumes or other possible allergens if you have sensitive skin. Always check the ingredients list to make sure that the product is suitable for your skin type.

How do you use aftersun?

1. Rinse the sunscreen: First take a shower to remove the remains of sunscreen from your body.
2. Apply aftersun to moist skin: Massage the aftersun gently onto your moist skin. This helps to strengthen the moisturizing effect.
3. Use it regularly: Apply the aftersun generously, preferably every morning and evening, or as often as necessary until the symptoms of sunburn disappear.
4. Check the shelf life: Note the expiry date of the product. Once opened, aftersun may become less effective over time.

By using aftersun correctly, you can reduce the negative effects of sunburn and help your skin to recover and moisturize after exposure to the sun. Consult a dermatologist if you are in doubt about which product is best for your skin type.
