After Sun FAQs

What is after sun and why should I use it?

After sun is a topical product designed to be applied to the skin after sun exposure. Its primary purpose is to rehydrate, cool, and soothe the skin, which can become dehydrated and irritated by UV rays. It helps to prevent dryness, peeling, and discomfort, promoting healthier skin recovery.

Can after sun relieve sunburn?

Yes, many after sun products are specifically formulated to help relieve the symptoms of mild sunburn. Ingredients like aloe vera, menthol, and vitamin E found in products such as Malibu Soothing After Sun Lotion provide a cooling sensation and help to calm inflamed skin, reducing redness and discomfort. For severe sunburn, consult a healthcare professional.

Is aloe vera gel effective for sunburn relief?

Absolutely. Aloe vera gel is widely recognised for its natural soothing and healing properties. It can significantly help to cool, hydrate, and reduce inflammation in sun-damaged skin, making it an excellent choice for sunburn relief. Look for pure aloe vera gels for the most concentrated benefits.

How do I choose after sun for sensitive skin?

When selecting after sun for sensitive skin, look for products that are hypoallergenic, fragrance-free, and dermatologically tested. Brands like Eucerin offer formulations specifically designed to minimise irritation while still providing essential hydration and soothing benefits. Always patch-test new products if you have very sensitive skin.

For comprehensive sun protection, remember that after sun is part of a broader sun care strategy. Always apply sunscreen before sun exposure and reapply regularly.
