After Sun

9 Good Reasons to Use After Sun

After sun exposure, switching from your usual face and body treatment to after-sun brings many benefits. Formulated to combat the harmful effects of the sun on the skin and maintain your tan, there's everything to gain from applying after-sun every night.
Here's everything you need to know about this product. While you may take vacations to relax, unfortunately, your skin doesn't! In fact, UVA and UVB rays, both infrared and visible, alter your epidermal barrier and damage skin cells. Remember, even with sunscreen, the skin is not 100% protected. That's why, after each exposure, it's advisable to take care to nourish, rehydrate, and "repair" it.

Specially formulated after-sun products usually contain fewer ingredients than conventional body lotions. However, they are composed of targeted cocktails of active ingredients selected to repair all types of skin, more or less sensitized by the sun. In terms of use, it's essential to apply it to clean skin, free from salt, chlorine, as well as chemical or mineral sunscreens clinging to the skin. Two options are possible: a simple rinse with clean water or a suitable mild cleanser, instead of micellar water or cleansing oil for the face, and a soap-free gel or cleansing oil for the body. There's no need to be heavy-handed and apply it in a thick layer. Take a good amount of product, then massage the skin evenly, if possible in the morning and evening, not just at the end of the day after sun exposure.

1. After Sun has Anti-Aging Properties

Against sun-induced photoaging, after-sun contains antioxidants, mainly vitamin E, very effective against UV rays, along with regenerating active ingredients (fragmented hyaluronic acid, peptides). This stimulates fibroblasts, hence collagen and elastin fiber production, unfortunately damaged by oxidative stress, particularly virulent during sun exposure.

2. It Has a Soothing Action

This is what makes it different from the classic body lotion. After-sun treatment incorporates soothing active ingredients to calm sensations of discomfort and tension (allantoin, panthenol), as well as active ingredients aimed at limiting inflammatory processes caused by free radicals (pine extracts, licorice extract).

3. After Sun Enhances the Tan

Regular application of after-sun also helps ensure a lasting tan by maintaining an even distribution of melanin on the skin's surface. Well-nourished skin flakes less. Some after-sun products even contain melanin precursors to activate the tan during the initial exposures. When returning from vacation, remember to finish the after-sun to maintain your caramel color for a longer time.

4. Soothes Sunburns

Even if sensitive skin is the most affected, all skin types are impacted. The epidermis is always more or less sensitized at the end of the day. After-sun is not reserved for the careless who got sunburned. Moreover, in the case of real sunburns (intense redness, heat, etc.), it's better to resort to healing creams sold in pharmacies (Avène's Cicalfate, Biafine). Essential oils with soothing properties can also be used.

5. After Sun Provides a Cooling Effect

Contained in certain gels and lotions, alcohol brings a fresh and soothing side due to its immediate anti-heating action. However, when present in more than 5% in the formula, it dries the skin. Refreshing menthol can also be poorly tolerated by irritated and red skin. New technologies enable obtaining freshness, thanks to a galenic called "splash effect": a gel encapsulated in the cream breaks contact with the skin, providing a renewed effect. They can be applied even on sensitive and fragile skin.

6. Nourishes the Epidermis

The sun, as well as chlorine, sea salt, and wind, alter the epidermal barrier. Highly effective moisturizing active ingredients such as glycerin, and especially essential fatty acids found in vegetable oils (shea, argan, jojoba), make it possible to limit insensible water losses and thus prevent "crocodile skin" after a few days. Remember also to drink water because body hydration is essential.

7. After Sun Adapts to the Skin Type

Choosing the right texture is also important for after-sun! Oils and balms are the most nourishing, while lotions and gels are the most refreshing, even the quickest to be absorbed by the epidermis. The former are therefore ideal for very sensitive and dry skin. However, it's possible to use a fluid lotion or gel, alternating with a multi-purpose beauty oil (hair, body, face) or even mixing lotion + oil if you want even more efficiency.

8. Suitable for Fragile Areas

If possible, it's better to apply a different facial treatment because facial skin needs much more hydration and lipids to regenerate. This is even truer if the skin is dry by nature or very sensitive. Instead, use a cream or even a balm formula if the epidermis is very dry for the face and neck, and for a lotion, gel, or oil texture for the rest of the body. At night, continue to apply your night cream before bedtime. Except if it's a treatment rich in potentially irritating active ingredients with the sun, such as retinol or vitamin C.
In general, fragile areas very exposed to the sun, such as the face, neck, and décolleté, should be spared: remove makeup carefully to rid the skin of sunscreens before applying after-sun. Emphasize after-sun on fragile and highly exposed areas, such as the entire décolleté, shoulders, or the lower neck.

9. You Can Use Makeup After Sun

An after-sun for the face is perfectly suitable to play the role of a moisturizer and basic makeup. As the skin is already tanned, just apply a bit of mattifying powder, a touch of blush or bronzer, and a hint of shimmer.

Sun Protection and Different Textures

Applying sunscreen doesn't have to mean spreading a thick white layer all over your body. There are solutions with various textures that provide protection: cream, milk, spray, or gel. Which of these textures will entice you?

Different texture, but the same sun protection? Although the textures are different, the composition of these sunscreens remains the same. In fact, sun protection incorporates chemical and/or mineral filters to combat the absorption of UV-B and/or UV-A. You just need to choose a protection level suitable for your skin type.
So, with equal protection ratings, sunscreen and sun oil protect in the same way. Same recipe but a different comfort in application. With an added bonus to sun protection, certain products have additional properties and offer beautiful effects on the skin!
Harder to choose now, isn't it? Let's go, we'll help you:
• The sunscreen has a visible texture that allows you to control the amount of product applied and easily identify the areas of the body you might have missed.
• Sun milk is much more fluid than cream and usually provides more intense hydration. Application is easy and effective.
• Sun spray has a less oily texture than sunscreen or milk. With its sprayer, application is simple and light. However, be attentive to the amount diffused by this spray. Don't settle for just a mist!
• Sun gel offers a light texture and the advantage of being transparent. No white mask effect on your face! Thanks to its melted texture, it is easily applied to the skin.
• Sun oil can be applied easily and evenly thanks to its liquid texture. It's not sticky, perfect for physical activities. Additionally, it provides a beautiful satin effect to the skin, enhancing the tan. However, being transparent, we may forget certain areas or not spread enough.

Sun protection is not limited to traditional sunscreen. All these different products are formulated with a base of protection against UV-B (some also against UV-A). Some of these sunscreens have additional properties, such as hydration. Just read the labels if you want other effects besides protection.

In summary, choose according to your desires and needs!

Solar

Sun Protection Products: Choose a Safe and Effective Product!

Without the protection of clothing and effective sunscreen, prolonged exposure to the sun can be risky.

Which Sunscreen Product to Choose?

Always check the instructions on the product label!
Sun protection products (creams, gels, oils, or sprays) are cosmetic products intended to protect against the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation from the sun (UVA and UVB) when applied according to the instructions provided on the packaging.
However, it is wrong to believe that these products offer complete sun protection and allow you to stay exposed for longer. Caution should be exercised in terms of time and duration of exposure.

UVA, UVB, Make the Difference!

Tanning is a skin defense reaction that opposes a filter to the penetration of solar radiation. But this filter does not have unlimited capacity.
Solar radiation is composed, among other things, of ultraviolet B rays (UVB rays) and ultraviolet A rays (UVA rays). "Sunburn" is mainly caused by UVB rays. UVA rays are responsible for premature skin aging.
UVB rays are the main factor in skin cancer, while UVA rays play a significant role in its appearance.

Different Types of Sun Protection: Which to Choose?

There are two main categories of sun protection offered by cosmetics, depending on the nature of the filters and their mode of action; all must be expressly authorized by regulations:
•    Organic or chemical filters that act by absorbing UV radiation;
•    Mineral filters, namely titanium dioxide and zinc oxide, which act by reflecting UV rays: they do not penetrate the epidermis;
•    Organic or inorganic filters may be present in nanometric form. The [nano] mention must then be added to the name of the substance in the mandatory list of ingredients on the packaging.
•    These different filters, chemical or mineral, nano or not, can be combined by manufacturers to optimize efficiency.

Sunscreen Products, Protection Level: Read the Label!

Against UVB rays: the sun protection factor (SPF) or protection index (IP) is an essential criterion of choice. It corresponds to the delaying effect of the product in relation to sun aggression.
The product category followed by a number corresponding to the "sun protection factor (SPF)" is used to assess its effectiveness. The higher the SPF, the greater the photoprotective action.
The European Commission proposed grouping sun protection factors to keep only eight different numbers on labels. However, not all labeling has been changed, and old sun protection factors are sometimes retained.

Note: Claims like "full screen" or "total protection" should not be used. Although common, they are false because no sun product offers complete protection against ultraviolet radiation.
The European Commission defined, in its recommendation of September 22, 2006, the labeling rule for sunscreens. Taken from this recommendation, the table below specifies the correspondences between categories and sun protection factors:

Sun Protection Factors

Low protection    6-10
Medium protection    15-20-25
High protection    30-50
Very high protection    50+

Against UVA rays: check if your sunscreen has, in addition to the SPF, the UVA logo. This is the guarantee of ideal protection against ultraviolet rays.

Note: This logo is not mandatory but recommended and used by many professionals. Other mentions or indications regarding protection against UVA rays may, however, appear on the packaging.
Some "conventional" media insist on the existence of so-called controversial ingredients in sun products.
Remember that sunscreens can only contain UV filters authorized by cosmetic regulations (about thirty) because they are assessed as risk-free for human health. Exposing yourself to the sun without any protection, however, is dangerous.
Consumers are advised to read labels and inquire about the composition of the products they purchase, especially if they have special ethical or environmental requirements or a history of sensitivity to certain substances.

Usage Tips
The National Union of Dermatologists has published the 10 precautions to be taken against the harmful effects of the sun:
•    The best protection is clothing for everyone (especially children): hat, sunglasses, shirt.
•    Babies and young children should not be exposed to direct sunlight;
•    Sunburns are dangerous, especially in children;
•    Avoid direct exposure between 12:00 and 4:00 PM
•    Sun exposure should be gradual;
•    Sand, snow, water can reflect more than half of the sun's rays on your skin;
•    Your sunscreen, anti-UVB and anti-UVA, should be renewed every two hours and after each bath, regardless of its protection index;
•    Use sunscreen suitable for your skin type;
•    Sunscreen is not intended to increase the exposure time;
•    In altitude and in the tropics, it is necessary to increase the sun protection index of the product usually used.
