When the skin is exposed to strong sun without protection, minor tissue damage always occurs. After a day in the sun, the skin needs rest, moisture and a little extra support to recover. Then it can be a good idea to give your skin a boost with an after-sun product. Here you will find variants in the form of gel, cream and spray that feel cooling, soothing and moisturizing for the skin after a day out in the sun. Many after-sun products have aloe vera in them, as aloe vera is well known for its moisturizing and soothing effects on both sunburn, dry skin and irritating insect bites.
Make sure to apply a good amount of sunscreen with a high factor (at least SPF 30) before going out, and reapply frequently to protect yourself from the sun's rays. Try to avoid the sun during the middle of the day when it is strongest, between 11 am and 3 pm, and wear clothing and a sun hat for protection. Although after sun can soothe sunburned skin, it cannot repair the permanent damage that the sun can cause to unprotected skin. That is why it is important to always protect yourself properly when in the sun.
