AFTER SUN

Using sun care products should be part of your summer care regime – not only before you go out in the sun, but also during and after you have been exposed to the sun. While a sun lotion, sun spray or sunscreen protects your skin from too much UV radiation, after sun care cools and soothes skin that is stressed and irritated after being in the sun. Sunbathing dehydrates your skin, and chlorine or salt water also place an extra burden on it. After sun products provide relief and a pleasantly cool feeling on your skin. Thanks to their excellent care and cooling effect, after sun products are an indispensable part of your beauty regime on warm summer days.

Can an after sun lotion help you keep your suntan for longer? Yes, the care and moisture an after sun product provides results in a longer-lasting suntan. This is because dry skin sheds its cells faster, thereby losing its tan. Consistent application of an after sun product helps combat this so you can enjoy your glow for longer.

After a long day under the summer sun, your skin needs all the support it can get. UV radiation places a burden on your skin and dries it out, which you feel as tautness and a burning sensation – NIVEA After Sun care products provide you with immediate help and relief. The ingredients and specially developed care formulas are ideal for sensitive skin, helping to restore your skin’s natural protective barrier and supporting regeneration and relaxation as part of your after sun care regime. The light, cooling texture allows for gentle and effective application of the after sun products, which is particularly important for irritated and sensitive skin.

In addition to using NIVEA After Sun care products, there is even more you can do for your skin after sun exposure: take a break in the shade and then rinse your skin free of sun lotion and sand, salt or chlorine under a lukewarm shower. Lightly pat your skin dry with a towel and avoid rubbing too vigorously. Sunlight does not only affect your skin, it also stresses your hair when it is in need of extra gentle care. An extra rich shampoo or a hair treatment will provide your hair, stressed from sun exposure, with long-lasting care and help keep it soft and healthy.

Environmental influences such as the sun, wind or water deprive your skin of moisture, while UV radiation puts your skin under stress and makes it sensitive and irritated. Unlike a body lotion or body milk, after sun products contain special care formulas that not only restore moisture to your skin but also soothe and cool it. This cooling effect provides immediate relief and leaves a pleasantly fresh feeling on your skin.
