After-sun repair knowledge

1. Cleaning

It is best to clean completely with water, avoid using soap and makeup removers, and take a cold shower or use a wet towel from time to time to calm dry skin. If the sunburn is not so serious, with only redness and slight peeling, you can start choosing cleaning and skin care products containing natural calming and soothing ingredients such as lavender, chamomile, witch hazel, calendula, etc. from the second day when the sunburn has improved slightly, to replenish moisture and oil and prevent skin aging and wrinkles due to dryness. Many brands have special after-sun care products, whose main purpose is to replenish moisture in large quantities and calm and soothe the skin after sun exposure.

2. Relieve sun spots

After being burned by the sun, it often causes spots, freckles and darkening of the skin. It is necessary to supplement vitamin C, which can inhibit the production of melanin and help reduce the already produced pigment into colorless vitamin C. It can be called the king of whitening. Therefore, eat more fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C. You can choose skin care products such as whitening essence that have a highly whitening effect. After the skin regains its moisture, in order to further promote skin metabolism and inhibit the production of melanin, it is very effective to use a whitening mask combined with massage.

In addition, if you want your skin to have strong UV defense capabilities, you also need to fully absorb vitamin E to prevent skin aging, vitamin A to increase skin resistance, and calcium to enhance skin elasticity. These can be obtained from food or nutritional supplements.

3. Deep conditioning for tanned skin

If you want to restore your fair and tender skin as soon as possible, you must use whitening skin care products. Moreover, it is best to use a facial mask for deep conditioning immediately after sun exposure, and then use whitening products for maintenance. This can enhance the metabolic function and promote the rapid excretion of excess melanin.

4. Moisturizing

Don’t rush to use whitening products to remove dark spots on your skin after sun exposure. You should replenish moisture first. Maintaining the skin’s moisture is the most important thing. When the skin is replenished with moisture, its metabolism can be accelerated, taking away the heat from the surface and making it feel comfortable. It is recommended to apply an appropriate amount of moisturizing lotion to lock in moisture after using the moisturizing mask.

Five: Focus on whitening at night

It is recommended to leave the whitening work after sun exposure to night time, because that will allow the ingredients of whitening skin care products to penetrate into the bottom layer of the skin more effectively, help repair damaged cells, brighten tanned skin, and also enhance the skin's ability to resist ultraviolet rays the next day.

6. Wash your face with cold water

The skin tends to become red and hot after being exposed to the sun, so it needs to be calmed down. If conditions permit, you can use a towel wrapped in ice cubes to cool the red and burned skin to reduce local heat. Therefore, you need to rinse with cold water and try to use your hands as little as possible, otherwise it will aggravate the formation of sun spots, shrink the pores and cool them down at the same time. During the rinsing process, the skin will feel very comfortable and it has an excellent effect of reducing redness and heat.

If severe allergies or dark spots appear on your facial skin after sun exposure, you should seek help from a beautician in time to provide symptomatic care and restore your skin to health and beauty as soon as possible.
