After Sun Skincare

After sun care is the application of products meant to soothe and skin following sun exposure. This typically includes the use of moisturizers, lotions, or gels that contain plant-based ingredients like aloe vera, which help to hydrate, visibly reduce redness, and soothe sunburn symptoms.

After sun care is essential for maintaining healthy looking skin following sun exposure. The best after sun skincare products help with keeping a tan, calm sunburn, and leave your skin feeling pampered.

After the winter, a beauty pick-me-up is definitely called for. The secret to achieving an even, golden, long-lasting tan? Prep your body and face like a pro with Clarins’ moisturizers and get rid of dry skin from the skin’s surface with our exfoliating products. The Tonic Sugar Polisher is a revitalizing body scrub with essential oils—sloughs off the rough stuff to refine skin texture. Moisturizing will ensure that the surface of your skin maintains the strong barrier it needs when facing UV rays while the exfoliators remove dead skin on the surface that could peel and lead to an uneven tan.

Clarins Research has capitalized on the best of science and plants to create an ultra-sensorial, high-performance daily sunscreen. UV PLUS with Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is an oil-free Anti-Pollution sun care product that helps protect skin from damaging UV rays, pollution, and free radicals. The plant-enriched formula is lightweight and oil-free, and creates an invisible shield with no white residue.

Maximize your tan and minimize your exposure with high UV protection sunscreen for face and body. Practice safe sun care habits—like re-applying your sun protection every 2 hours and limiting sun exposure when UV rays are strongest (10 AM – 2 PM)—to help decrease risk of early skin aging. Always apply your after sun lotion to keep tan longer.
