After Sun
AfterSun is exactly what your skin needs after a day in the sun. Think of warm skin, dry patches, or that tight feeling after the beach, pool, or terrace. With the right care, your skin feels supple, fresh and comfortable again: afterSun.
What is afterSun?
AfterSun is a care product you use once your skin has been exposed to the sun. The formula is usually lighter than a bodyLotion and often absorbs quickly. Many afterSuns contain ingredients like aloe vera, glycerine, or panthenol to keep the skin supple and comfortable.
You don’t use it as UV protection. For that, you need a good sunscreen during the day. AfterSun comes after: when you’re indoors, showered, and your skin needs some extra care.
There are different types. A gel feels fresh and light, a Spray is handy if you want to cover large skin areas quickly, and a Lotion or milk is great when your skin feels dryer. For children or sensitive skin, a gentle formula without too many extras is often best.
This collection includes products from Naïf, Bondi Sands, Lancaster, Nuxe, Vichy, and ShampooBars. For example, choose the Bondi Sands Cooling Gel if you’re looking for a lightweight gel that feels refreshingly cool.
How to use afterSun?
Use afterSun after showering or rinsing. This removes sweat, sand, salt, chlorine, and sunscreen residue from your skin. Pat yourself dry with a towel and apply the product generously on the areas that have been in the sun.
A simple routine:
-
Rinse your skin with lukewarm water.
-
Pat dry, don’t rub hard.
-
Spread afterSun over arms, legs, shoulders, face and décolleté.
-
Let it absorb before dressing.
-
Apply again later if your skin feels dry again.
Even if you didn’t get red, this step is smart. Sun, wind, and water can still dry out your skin. See it as part of your summer care, just like cleansing your face after makeup or caring for your hair after washing.
Do you have sensitive skin? Then choose a gentle Spray or Lotion. Want something to take on holiday? Then a Travelsize is handy in your toiletry bag. And if your skin quickly feels warm, an afterSun gel is usually most comfortable.
haarspullen.nl: for all your sun protection
At haarspullen.nl you shop not only afterSun, but also everything else for your sun routine. Before sun exposure, protect your skin with sunscreen. After sunbathing, choose care that suits your skin type and preference.
Your hair also deserves care in summer. UV light, salt water, and chlorine can make your hair drier, stiffer or duller. Especially coloured, blonde, curly or damaged hair feels this quickly. That’s why UV protection for hair is a great addition to your beach bag.
Unsure whether to pick a Spray, gel, or Lotion? Consider when you want to use it. A Spray is ideal if you want to be quick. A Lotion offers a bit more care. A gel is perfect for warm weather because it feels light and spreads easily.
This way you build your routine easily: SPF before and during sun exposure, hair protection when you’re outdoors a lot, and afterSun to finish the day. No fuss, just better cared-for skin and hair.
Buy afterSun?
Buying afterSun gets easier when you know what your skin needs. Is your skin dry? Choose a richer milk or Lotion. Prefer something light? Then a gel suits you better. Looking for convenience for the whole family? A Spray is often ideal.
Consider this when choosing:
-
Skin type: dry, sensitive, normal or quickly tight.
-
Texture: gel, Lotion, milk, foam, oil or Spray.
-
Usage moment: home, holiday or on the go.
-
Feel on the skin: fresh, soft, nourishing or very light.
-
Formula: for example with aloe vera or fragrance-free.
Naïf products are popular for sensitive skin. For a summery care moment with a luxurious feel, brands like Nuxe or Lancaster are suitable. And if you mainly want a practical After sun for after the beach or pool, a Spray or gel is usually a good choice.
Choose a product you enjoy using. The nicer the texture, scent and packaging suit you, the quicker you’ll actually reach for it after a day outside. That way, you give your skin exactly the care it asks for, without fuss with afterSun.
