The best after-sun skincare routine

We all want sun-kissed skin with a natural glow. Here’s the skincare we recommend after a long day in the sun… to help you sunbathe in the safest way!

PSA: before you do anything on a sunny day (and any other weather), make SPF (we love our Everyday Hero SPF50+ in the UK – we’re working on it, Australia and New Zealand!) your final step in your morning skincare routine. Your skin will thank you!

STEP 1: COOL + CLEANSE

After a cool shower, gently cleanse your skin of sweat or SPF with a hydrating cleanser – our Cleansing Pads are your skin’s best friend for holiday travel.

Top tip – avoid harsher cleansers, scrubs or exfoliants. Your skin will be a little more sensitive after being in the sun, so stick to super gentle formulas and ingredients.

STEP 2: REHYDRATE

Mission: restore hydration and moisture. For this, we’d recommend super-soft and gentle moisturisation, that you’ll get from our Universal Soft-Cream Moisturiser or Hydrate & Nourish Tonic Milk. You can even layer both.

For all the hydration and cooling, try our Moisture Fix Mask. It’s packed with shea butter and squalane to stop that dry or tight feeling post-sun day. Your lips might need some extra TLC – we’d keep our Nourishing Lip Oil in your pocket to apply (and reapply) whenever you need.

In general, you can also count on ingredients like hyaluronic acid, ceramides and antioxidants. If you head out in the sun again, don’t forget the SPF!
