Which Beauty Routine Should you Choose After Sun Exposure?

After a day in the sun, the skin needs a true care ritual to restore comfort, suppleness and radiance. UV rays, wind, chlorine and salt weaken the epidermis and can affect your tan. To preserve your skin’s beauty, extend your healthy glow and prevent tightness, it is essential to adopt a complete after-sun routine, using products with natural ingredients and soothing textures.

Adopting a routine tailored to your skin

Unlike sun care applied before or during exposure, an after-sun routine focuses on soothing, repairing and deeply rehydrating the skin. It involves simple but essential steps, to be repeated daily to regenerate the skin. The goal is to strengthen the skin barrier, replenish water reserves, and enhance your tan. Texture choice (gel, cream, oil, milk, balm) depends on your skin type and sensory preferences.

Products rich in marine or plant-based actives with soothing properties are preferred. Hydration is key, as is gentleness: harsh exfoliants or drying formulas should be avoided. For a long-lasting tan, comfortable and radiant skin, consistency is essential.

After any sun exposure, it is crucial to restore skin balance with a complete care routine, combining creams, oils, masks, milks or waters according to your skin type and needs.

Facial care

The facial routine begins with thorough cleansing, even more important after prolonged sun, sunscreen and environmental exposure. Double cleansing is central to this approach, where our OCEAN CLEANSE range shows its full effectiveness.

Start with a makeup remover chosen according to your skin and preferences: 3-in-1 Micellar Water for a light, refreshing effect, 3-in-1 Cleansing Oil to effectively dissolve SPF filters and impurities, or [Nutri+] Cleansing Milk for a cocooning, comforting texture. Follow with a cleanser such as [Purity] Cleansing Gel for deep cleaning, or Detox Micellar Mousse, combining lightness with purifying action. This double-step ensures clean, soothed skin, ready for the next treatments.

Once the face is cleansed, apply the [Hydra+] Resource Serum, a true hydration booster, followed by OCEAN HYDRA’s [Aqua] Resource Jelly for gentle rehydration, or [Nutri+] Resource Cream. The latter deeply nourishes, repairs and strengthens the skin barrier, particularly stressed by UV rays. Once or twice a week, or when the skin feels overheated, include the [Comforting] Resource Mask for comfort and soothing relief.

Caring for your face after sun exposure with an appropriate cream and mask hydrates deeply while prolonging your tan; these products are suitable for all skin types and budgets, rich in water and protective actives.

Body care

The body also deserves special attention. After showering, start with the [Revitalizing] Cryo-Gel For Legs, which provides an immediate sensation of lightness. Perfect for heavy or heat-fatigued legs, it delivers a refreshing ice-cold effect without stickiness.

Continue with the [Nourishing] Body Cream, which spreads easily over the entire body. Its fluid texture and hydrating power make it essential to prolong your tan and soothe heated skin. For very dry or damaged areas, alternate with the [Regenerating] Smoothing Balm, which intensely soothes while promoting cell regeneration.

The [Multi-Protection] Hand Cream, ideal for your bag, prevents dryness from repeated washing and sun exposure. Finally, enhance your routine with a few drops of [Softening] Body Oil applied with gentle massages. It illuminates the skin and leaves a velvety, non-greasy finish.

By following this order and choosing suitable products, you provide your body and face with a true post-sun treatment while enhancing the benefits of your beauty routine. Algotherm formulas, inspired by the sea, respect even sensitive skin.

In conclusion, adopting a thoughtful after-sun beauty routine not only repairs the skin but also prolongs the sun’s benefits for a radiant complexion. With targeted care and simple steps, your skin remains supple, luminous and perfectly hydrated. Remember to drink plenty of water, avoid prolonged sun exposure, and choose products with natural ingredients that respect your skin and the planet.
