After-sun

A sophisticated range of after-sun products

Here you’ll find a carefully selected collection of after-sun products to care for your skin after sun exposure. After-sun helps to cool, moisturise and soothe the skin when it feels warm, dry or tight.

Our Skins Experts select formulas from premium brands, ranging from a light after-sun gel to a nourishing after-sun lotion. This allows you to choose a texture that suits your skin and your summer routine.

• After-sun provides cooling and hydration following sun exposure.
• An after-sun gel feels light and refreshing on warm skin.
• An after-sun lotion offers extra comfort to dry or tight skin.
• After-sun products care for the skin after sun exposure, but do not replace sun protection.

What is aftersun used for?

You use aftersun to moisturise and soothe the skin after sun exposure. Sun, heat, salt water and chlorine can strip moisture from the skin. As a result, your skin may feel dry, warm or sensitive after a summer’s day.

After-sun products often contain moisturising and cooling ingredients, such as aloe vera, chamomile and nourishing oils. The formulas are available as lotions, gels, sprays or moisturisers. A gel often feels light and cooling, whilst a lotion or moisturiser provides greater comfort for dry skin after sun exposure.

Apply aftersun to cleansed skin and reapply whenever your skin needs it. Aftersun supports skin care after sun exposure, but does not protect against UV radiation. You should therefore always use suitable sun protection for your body during the day.

Which after-sun suits your skin and summer routine?

Which after-sun is right for you depends on your skin type and the texture you prefer. A cooling gel-based after-sun absorbs quickly and feels refreshing. This makes the gel ideal on hot days or if you prefer a light formula.

Does your skin feel dry or tight after sun exposure? If so, opt for an after-sun lotion or moisturiser. These formulas hydrate the skin and keep it feeling comfortable for longer. For sensitive skin, look for a mild formula free from alcohol or strong fragrance.

You can apply aftersun after every day in the sun, even if your skin doesn’t feel red. This gives your skin the hydration it may lose due to heat and sun exposure.

Discover after-sun products for fresh and hydrated skin

The Skins range features after-sun products that combine a cooling effect with skincare. Light gels provide an instant cooling sensation, whilst lotions and moisturisers provide more intensive hydration for dry skin.

Does your skin mainly need hydration after a day in the sun? Then a hydrating body lotion can be a lovely addition to your body care routine. You should also always use sun protection for your body when you go out in the sun. This way, you protect your skin during the day and give it the care it needs afterwards.
