The sun is very important for the skin. It provides the skin with vitamin D, which supports skin renewal and has an anti-inflammatory effect. After sunbathing, you will feel relaxed, your mood will improve and skin conditions such as acne or dermatitis can also be relieved. However, excessive exposure to the sun can lead to sunburn, photo-allergy and cause permanent cell damage.
Especially in summer, the sun's radiation is very intense. If the skin is exposed to UV rays for too long, it can have devastating effects. Too much sun exposure dries the skin and weakens it. If the skin is not properly protected, this can also lead to sunburn. Severe skin irritation damages cells and increases the risk of developing skin cancer. Both prevention and treatment of the effects of the sun on our skin are very important.
If skin irritations are noticed during or after sunbathing, the following applies:
Sun care and after sun care should also always be adapted to the respective skin type and intensity of sun exposure.
Heat, wind, sweat, salt water and water containing chlorine strip moisture from skin and hair and make them brittle. Our skin starts to itch and then peel off.
In order to optimally support the regeneration of the skin surface, the skin needs adequate care. "After Sun Care" in this context means the special care of the skin after sunbathing. However, since many body lotions are not tailored to these needs, a specially developed After Sun Lotion is required. This contains important and beneficial ingredients, which provide the skin with the necessary vitamins, moisturize enough and also have an anti-inflammatory effect
Use a moisturizing daily face care with sun protection factor in the morning to optimally prepare the skin for the day of intense sun.
Before and during sunbathing, you should use a sunscreen with a high sun protection factor and apply the cream several times throughout the day.
Make sure to spread the sunscreen evenly and don't forget places like ears, soles of feet and legs.
In order to maintain protection, a new layer of sunscreen should be applied after each bath and if there has been a lot of sweating.
The protective power depends on the skin type and the intensity of sun exposure.
For normal skin type, a sun protection factor of SPF30 is sufficient. In case of hypersensitive skin or skin prone to allergies, a sun protection cream with SPF 50 should be used.
In addition, do not forget to drink enough fluids. Especially on hot days, the body needs at least 2-3 liters of water.
After sunbathing, it is important to neutralize the loss of moisture in the skin and take care of it intensively. A cool after sun lotion is the most suitable, to soothe sun-stressed skin.
Before applying the care, do not forget a thorough cleaning. Remove sunscreen residue and sweat with lukewarm water. Only in this way can after sun lotions have the best possible effect.
After sunbathing, also avoid exfoliating and exfoliating products, as these put additional pressure on the skin.
So to achieve the perfect "tan" without peeling and irritation, take care of your skin before and after exposure to the sun!
