Aftersun: why and when to use it?

After sun lotion has the function of alleviating the effects resulting from sun exposure and improving skin conditions.

The tan and the production of melanin are, in effect, a defense of the organism to a situation of stress. In the first instance, in fact, solar radiation causes an inflammatory response to the skin, which is manifested by redness, dehydration, a burning sensation, erythema and other more or less annoying symptoms.

Therefore, it is necessary to provide the skin with nutrients (such as argan and shea), antioxidants (vitamins), anti-reddening and soothing (aloe, allantoin, calendula and panthenol).

The constant application of milk, creams and butters after exposure to the sun also preserves the compactness of the superficial skin layer and restores the hydrolipidic film, counteracting dehydration and peeling.

After the first days of exposure, the after-sun should always be used applying it generously and all over the body.
