AFTER SUN

Using sun care products should always be part of your relaxed summer care routine – not only before you go out into the sun, but also during and after sun exposure. While a sun lotion, sun spray or sunscreen protects your skin from too much UV radiation, after sun care cools and soothes skin that feels stressed and irritated after time in the sun. Sunbathing dehydrates your skin, and chlorine or salt water also place an extra burden on it. After sun products give you relief and a pleasantly cool feeling on your skin. Thanks to the excellent care provided by the cooling effect, after sun products become 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 can result in a longer-lasting suntan. This is because dry skin sheds its cells faster and loses its tan more quickly. By applying an after sun product consistently, you help your skin stay moisturised and keep its sun-kissed glow for longer.

After a long day under the South African summer sun, your skin needs all the support it can get. UV radiation places a real burden on your skin and dries it out, which you notice 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 assisting with 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. Gently pat your skin dry with a towel and avoid rubbing too vigorously so you don’t irritate it further. Sunlight does not only affect your skin – it also stresses your hair when it actually needs extra gentle care. An extra rich shampoo or a nourishing hair treatment will provide your hair, stressed from sun exposure, with long-lasting care and help keep it soft, shiny 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 feel sensitive and irritated. Unlike a normal 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 you with immediate relief and leaves a pleasantly fresh feeling on your skin.
