How to repair after sun exposure after military training

1. Help cool down the skin

Just after military training, the skin is basically in a state of heat and redness, which is the lowest form of after-sun exposure. Don't rush to take care of your skin at this time, because the skin at this moment is very fragile and can't stand the irritation of skin care products. The most urgent task is to cool down the skin.

Specific steps: Rinse your face with clean water, make sure to use cold water; apply an ice pack to your face for 5-10 minutes to help cool your skin; or soak a towel in ice water, wring it out and apply it to your face.

2. Clean your face

A key step in after-sun repair is to clean the skin. During military training, the skin sweats and produces oil, and sweat and oil can easily clog the pores. If you apply sunscreen, you should strengthen cleaning. Otherwise, once dirt clogs the pores, the skin will be prone to acne, spots, etc.

Specific steps: If you have a lunch break at noon, it is recommended to wash your face with clean water and spray some toner to help cool the skin and moisturize it. If you have applied sunscreen, it is also recommended to wash it off at this time. After all, after a morning of exposure to the sun, the skin is sweaty and oily, and the sunscreen will be very dirty during the lunch break if it is not washed off thoroughly. At night, there is no need to say anything. Wash your face with facial cleanser. If you have applied sunscreen, you must remove makeup first and then wash your face.

3. Calm and repair skin

After a whole day in the sun, the skin will be sunburned to some extent, but the degree of sunburn is different. As mentioned before, don’t rush to take care of your skin, but at the end of the day and at night, you can do some simple calming and repair work. For example, you can apply skin care products with calming and repairing functions on your skin. Aloe vera gel is a good choice and can be applied to both the face and the body.

In addition, many facial masks also have the function of calming and repairing, such as SNP Qinglong Mask, a by bom Baby Repair Calming Mask, Dijiating Green Pill Mask, etc. After military training during the day, you can apply a facial mask for 15 minutes at night, which can also calm and repair the skin well. (Note: Put the mask in the refrigerator to chill before applying it, it will be more refreshing when applied.)

4. Hydrate and moisturize the skin

After being exposed to the sun, regardless of whether the skin is tanned or sunburned, most of the moisture in the skin is lost. Therefore, after calming the skin, the further task is to hydrate and moisturize the skin. Hydrating the skin is something that should be done every day. During military training or just after military training, we can apply a hydrating mask every day.

The main function of a hydrating mask is to hydrate the skin. When the skin is extremely dehydrated, continuously applying a hydrating mask will not burden the skin. On the contrary, it can provide emergency relief for the skin and help the skin replenish the moisture lost during the day.

But please note that once the skin recovers, you should go back to the original frequency of using a mask 2-3 times a week.

If you don’t have the conditions to apply a hydrating mask every day, it is recommended to apply toner every day. Toner also has the effect of hydrating and is much more cost-effective than a mask.

5. Whiten skin after sun exposure

After a military training, the skin will inevitably be tanned. In addition to repairing and moisturizing, we cannot neglect the work of whitening.

Oral whitening items include health care whitening pills, VC tablets, fruits and vegetables containing vitamin C, etc.

External whitening products, from the simplest whitening facial masks to whitening essences, etc., can all whiten the skin, but be careful not to use them frequently. Most whitening skin care products contain exfoliating ingredients, and frequent use can easily damage the skin.

Can I use alkaline facial cleanser after military training?

Cannot be used.

After sufficient hydration, cleanse your face with a mild, weakly acidic cleanser labeled mild or suitable for sensitive skin. The pH value of facial skin is generally acidic, so using a facial cleanser with a similar pH value will not irritate the skin. At this time, avoid using alkaline facial cleansers.

This is an introduction to after-sun repair after military training. Please be careful not to use alkaline facial cleansers.
