Your 101 Guide to Sunscreen & Aftercare

Summer is here, and so are the sunny days! Protecting your skin from the sun is crucial, but it's equally important to take care of your skin after sun exposure. This guide will walk you through the fundamentals of sunscreen and essential aftercare tips using shower gel, body lotion and massage oil.

Why Sunscreen is Important

Sunscreen protects your skin from harmful UV rays. These rays can cause sunburn, premature ageing and also increase the risk of skin cancer. Applying sunscreen is the first step to ensure your skin stays safe under the sun in the Summer as well as Winters.

How to Choose the Right Sunscreen

• SPF 30 or Higher: Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for adequate protection.

• Broad-Spectrum Protection: Ensure your sunscreen protects against both UVA and UVB rays.

• Water-Resistant: If you’re swimming or sweating, a water-resistant sunscreen is a must.

• Lip Balm: It is also important to use a lip balm with at least SPF 30 for adequate protection.

How to Apply Sunscreen

• Apply Generously: Use enough sunscreen to cover all exposed skin.

• Reapply Every 2 Hours: Sunscreen wears off, especially if you're swimming or sweating.

• Don’t Forget Ears, Lips, Feet, and Neck: These areas are often neglected but need protection too. Also remember to apply the sunscreen behind the ears as this area is at high risk when wearing hats, short hair or a pony tail and not often exposed.

Aftercare is Just as Important

After spending time in the sun, your skin needs care to stay healthy and hydrated. Proper aftercare can soothe your skin, prevent peeling, and prolong your tan.

Step 1: Cleanse with a Gentle Shower Gel

After sun exposure, start by cleansing your skin with a gentle shower gel. This helps remove sweat, sunscreen, and dirt without stripping your skin of its natural oils.

Tip: Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent further drying out your skin.

Step 2: Hydrate with Body Lotion

Hydration is key after sun exposure. Apply a nourishing body lotion to restore moisture and soothe your skin. Look for lotions with natural ingredients to keep your skin soft and supple.

Step 3: Nourish with Massage Oil

To give your skin an extra boost, use a nourishing massage oil. Massage oils can help lock in moisture, improve skin elasticity, and provide a calming effect after a long day in the sun.
