There are many good reasons to invest in a good aftersun when you are going to be in the sun a lot. Aftersun not only provides comfort after sunbathing, it can also stop the burning process in the skin when used correctly. In addition, it relieves hot and tight skin after being exposed to a lot of UV radiation.

5 reasons to use aftersun after sunbathing:

Moisturizes to prevent flaking
Cools skin
Maintains and evens out tan
Anti-redness
Prevents and repairs sun damage

How to use aftersun correctly

Apply aftersun immediately after sunbathing, so that the active ingredients stop the burning process in the skin. A tip is to apply aftersun already on the beach when sunbathing is nearing the end. Make sure to let it work on the skin for at least an hour before showering, and then reapply after you have showered.

Also use sunscreen with the correct SPF

Although using aftersun has many benefits that are good for both your skin and your tan, the most important thing you can do is use sunscreen with the right SPF for your skin. SPF extends the time you can stay in the sun without getting sunburned and reduces the risk of sun damage.
