Looking for an effective and natural after-sun?
It's true that it's important to moisturize your skin well after exposure.
All the brands sell their after-sun creams...
Bioderma, Nuxe, Vichy, Garnier, Yves Rocher, Clarins, Vichy, Avène, Nivea and even Lidl with Cien.
The problem is that they ALL contain harmful ingredients with unpronounceable names in them...
Fortunately, there is a homemade after-sun recipe to properly moisturize your skin after sun exposure.
All you need is an aloe vera leaf and sesame oil . Watch:
- aloe vera leaf
- black sesame oil
1. Take a fresh aloe vera leaf.
2. Cut a piece of aloe vera using this technique.
3. Pour a few drops of black sesame oil on the pulp.
4. Pass the piece of aloe vera on your skin.
There you go, your skin is now well hydrated thanks to this 100% natural after-sun :-)
Easy, fast and efficient, right?
Thanks to this moisturizing gel with aloe vera, your skin is perfectly nourished in depth. No more dry skin!
This treatment soothes your skin exposed to the sun's rays, deeply hydrates it and repairs it.
It is best to apply it before and after exposure to the sun to take advantage of all its benefits.
And it is suitable for all skin types:women's skin, men's skin or the sensitive and delicate skin of children.
- If you don't have black sesame oil, that's okay. You can simply apply aloe vera pulp to your skin. Black sesame oil only enhances the action of aloe vera.
- You can buy aloe vera leaves in organic stores like Biocoop or supermarkets like Auchan or Carrefour.
- If you can't find it, you can use aloe vera juice. It will help preserve the elasticity of your skin, while ensuring a little freshness. Always useful when exposed to the sun!
Aloe vera is a plant with powerful moisturizing properties. It penetrates the skin and hydrates the upper layers of the epidermis.
It is also rich in vitamins and minerals that contribute to skin regeneration.
It also contains polysaccharides that help repair the skin barrier against sun damage. It is not without reason that many after-sun creams and gels contain aloe vera!
Finally, it has recognized anti-inflammatory properties. It immediately soothes redness caused by prolonged exposure to the sun.
Exposing yourself to the sun is not advisable, especially if you have fair skin. It's the best way to get sunburned!
To avoid sunburn, it is best not to stay in the sun for long and to apply a sunscreen, preferably organic, like this one each time.
Not only must this application be renewed regularly, but it must also be done after each swim.
Long tanning sessions by the pool or on the beach are strictly discouraged, especially between 12 p.m. and 2 p.m.
And remember never to expose children to the sun between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m.!
If you follow these precautions and use your aloe vera after-sun gel, then you are protecting your skin and your health.
A sunburn is neither more nor less than a burn. Ultraviolet rays are responsible for sunburn.
The skin then becomes red and painful.
The severity of a sunburn depends on several factors:the type of skin, the duration of exposure, the time of exposure, the intensity of UV exposure and the location of the sunburn.
The sunburn appears a few hours after exposure and usually only lasts a few days.
After the sunburn, the skin may begin to peel:this is desquamation of the skin. A clearer area of depigmented skin then appears.
To avoid peeling, simply dab the burnt area with white vinegar, as explained here.
If you recognize any of these symptoms, stop exposing yourself to the sun immediately. Get in the shade. Also drink plenty of water to avoid dehydration.
To relieve pain and soothe a sunburn, you can use one of these 12 tips.
In the two days following the appearance of the sunburn, if the pain is severe or if a fever appears, do not hesitate to consult a doctor.
