Piz Buin After Sun Instant Relief Mist |With Hyaluronic Acid | 200ml

Product Information

Not all sunburns are the same. In fact, some can be severe and require medical attention. Consult your doctor if you have blisters or if your sunburn is accompanied by severe pain, headache, a high temperature or chills, confusion, nausea, or vomiting. These may be signs that you have heatstroke or sun poisoning, both of which can be very dangerous. When should you apply aftersun? Although aftersun is often associated with sunburn, because of its hydrating ingredients and soothing properties you don’t need to reserve it solely for when your skin has been enthusiastically kissed by the sun. Dr. King recommends applying after-sun lotions and gels with your fingers, as you would with a traditional body lotion. “But be sure to wash your hands afterward if the lotion contains hydrocortisone, as well as if it contains self-tanner so your fingers won’t stain,” she says.

To keep your skin super hydrated, you may wish to apply hyaluronic acid before using aftersun. This helps your skin to draw in even more moisture.

Hydrate and care for your skin with after sun lotion from Garnier. Skin can feel tight after a day in the sun, craving moisture to soothe and nourish it. Our lotions are enriched with naturally derived Aloe Vera, a plant rich in vitamins and minerals. Simply choose from a spray bottle or a cream and apply for a cooling, healing effect on your skin. You'll feel refreshed in no time.

While moisturiser can help protect sunburnt skin from further water loss, dryness and irritation, according to Dr Alexis Granite, consultant dermatologist at CeraVe, after sun products are more effective as they contain calming ingredients. “After sun formulations also tend to be lighter with a high water content to avoid trapping heat from sunburn and worsening discomfort,” she says. What’s better: after sun or aloe vera? No multi-step routine needed here. Just gently rub it on, as you would any body cream or lotion, to reap the benefits. Plus, their texture can provide a useful summer upgrade to your regular moisturiser. Clare explains, “Aftersun tends to be something that’s light and easier to apply to sore skin, whereas moisturisers typically require more massaging in.” Melanie Grant is a skin expert and advanced esthetician with clinics in Los Angeles, Sydney, and Melbourne.
