Facial After Sun

How to care for our face after sun exposure

Facial skin is among the most sensitive areas of our body to sun exposure, especially if sun exposure is prolonged or if the recommended precautions aren't taken. While sunlight provides many positive effects on our skin when used properly, it can also cause significant problems and damage.

After prolonged sun exposure, our skin becomes more sensitive. To protect against the adverse effects of the sun on our skin, we should incorporate after-sun products into our beauty routine to help soothe any irritation, burns, or dehydration.

Choosing the right facial after-sun

To care for facial skin after sun exposure, we must apply an after-sun treatment suited to our skin's needs. Its most important function is to restore, balance, and soothe skin damaged by the sun's rays.

Depending on our skin type, it is advisable to choose one type or another of post-sun treatment, in order to obtain the best results and a safe and long-lasting tan.

• If we don't have any skin condition, we can apply any after-sun product that works for both the face and body.
• However, for oily skin, light and ultra-refreshing textures are recommended.
• On the other hand, if it is dry, we should use a creamier texture.

For your complexion, we always recommend using a specific after-sun lotion for the face, as it's specially formulated for the care and health of this area. These types of products usually contain moisturizing and soothing ingredients like aloe vera, or antioxidants like vitamin E. They also tend to combat sunspots and photoaging.

How to properly recover your skin after sun exposure

Prolonged exposure to sunlight causes the body to lose water. For this reason, it's important to apply a product that helps soothe and hydrate the skin.

First, a good shower is recommended to remove impurities and lower the skin temperature. The water should be lukewarm or cool to soothe the skin, and you should avoid rubbing the skin too much to prevent further irritation.

After showering, we can apply a gentle facial scrub to help open our pores without further damaging our skin. Then, we apply a hydrating and nourishing treatment to help rebalance and soothe our skin after sun exposure.

For the care of our skin, it is also important to maintain a balanced diet with red meat and oily fish, juices rich in vitamin C, vegetables and to stay constantly hydrated with water.
