Remember After Sun Care

If you have exposed your skin to the sun it is always important to care for your skin as such, and apply an after sun lotion. This is because after coming in from time in the sun, skin that has heated up can become further damaged unless it is cooled down. Once you are out of the sun for the day, take a cool bath to soothe and cool your skin.

Next apply NIVEA Sun After Sun Moisture Nourishing Balm liberally to all areas of your skin that have been exposed. The cooling and soothing formula will help to relieve signs of sun-stressed skin, with additional organic Aloe Vera, Hyaluron and Vitamin E to provide 48h moisture that prevents peeling. Using after sun will aid skin regeneration and help to restore any loss of moisture.

Although NIVEA After Sun nourishes skin after exposure to the sun it is not designed to be an alternative to sun cream, and should not be used as such.

What makes a sunscreen greasy?

Sunscreens that can cause you to feel greasy typically contain a high number of silicone and acrylate polymers, which are there to make the product more adhesive to your skin. They can have a rubbery texture and are usually used in higher concentrations for sunscreens that are formulated to be highly water resistant. With that being said, our new NIVEA Dry Touch Sunscreen non greasy sunscreens still offer water resistance, without the stick.
