Aftersun

What does aftersun do?

Aftersun is a cream or lotion you apply to your skin after being in the sun. Sun, wind, salt water and sand dry out your skin, and it can feel warm and tight. A good aftersun cools, soothes and moisturises the skin, bringing it back into balance and leaving it feeling soft again. Aftersun is care for afterwards, not protection, so you still need to use sunscreen when you are in the sun. Your skin can feel dry for several days after a long day at the beach, in the garden or on a skiing holiday, so apply it on the following evenings too. It’s a nice little ritual to end a sunny day with.

Aftersun cream, lotion or gel?

Aftersun comes as a cream, lotion or gel. Choose the texture you like best. The most important thing is that your aftersun moisturises and soothes the skin. If you have sensitive skin or have had a little too much sun, it’s a good idea to choose a fragrance-free aftersun.

Fragrance-free aftersun with aloe vera

Fragrance-free aftersun helps with dryness and redness after sun exposure and contains:

• Organic aloe vera, which cools and keeps the skin moisturised.
• Almond oil and apricot kernel oil, nourishing oils with vitamins that, together with aloe vera, keep the skin moisturised.
• Natural ingredients from a reed plant and a fungus, which help the skin return to normal after exposure to sun, salt water and sand.

It is fragrance-free, AllergyCertified, dermatologically tested, vegan and free from silicone.

How to use aftersun

Apply aftersun after showering when you have been in the sun, and use it for as long as your skin feels dry or warm. Follow the instructions on the packaging. After summer, you can switch back to your regular body lotion.
