How to smear the skin after sunburn? Good question. We’ll be happy to give you the right answer and even recommend specific products from one of Healthy-Food’s favorite solar lines.
What does skin need after sunburn?
Even if you behaved well and followed all the rules for safe tanning, your skin still needs special care to help it feel more comfortable after exposure to ultraviolet radiation. After all, sunburn is essentially a protective reaction of the skin and evidence of damage caused by solar radiation.
But let’s just figure out what the skin needs after tanning and how to smear it without much discussion. In order.
Purification
After the beach, you should take a shower with a soft gel or a syndet, which will be able to remove the sunscreen (we hope you used it), sea salt, sand and sweat.
Охлаждение
After-sun skin spends a lot of energy on temoregulation, after-sun products with a gel or liquid texture and hydrating agents in the composition have a good cooling effect. In general, it is reasonable, when going to a beach holiday, to purchase a sunscreen product complete with after-sun care.
humidification
The sun inevitably provokes dehydration of the skin, this is an indisputable fact. That is why the after-sun formulas are based on hydrators and water-retaining components:
aloe;
hyaluronic acid;
algae extracts;
thermal water.
Soothing Ingredients
After-sun products traditionally include ingredients that soothe the skin. In case of an emergency (after all, you can warm up not only on the beach, but also in the park or just walking down the street for a long time), you have to save the skin with improvised means from the family medicine cabinet, such as creams with panthenol or allantoin.
Mitigation
Tanned skin strives to get rid of the layer of dead cells – after the holidays, it often peels off, which gives the tan a grayish tint. Light creams or after-sun milk with lipids in the composition will soften the skin and help prevent peeling. We wrote about how to prolong a tan in this article.
After tanning, the skin needs “cool” textures and hydration.
If there are signs of a sunburn: redness, swelling, soreness when touched, the skin “bakes”, it itches – remedies after the sun can slightly alleviate the situation, but they will not completely relieve the burn. Read more about what to do if you get sunburned here.
What your skin doesn’t need after sunburn
Some folk recipes for saving the skin after a burn not only do not help, but even harm the skin.
Sour cream and yogurt. Spreading a fermented milk product on a badly burned back “so that it doesn’t hurt and peel off” is a bad idea. There is a high probability that the product contains bacteria, which weakened damaged skin is unlikely to be happy with.
Coconut oil. Nutrition is not at all what the skin needs after insolation. Especially in case of a burn. Forming a film on the skin, the oil prevents the cooling of tissues and can cause blockage of pores with known consequences.
