Everything You Need To Know About Body Care After a Sunny Day At The Beach.

Hydrate Inside Out

• Drink plenty of water to rehydrate your body after exposure to the sun.
• Coconut water is also a great option as it is packed with electrolytes that can help replenish the body’s hydration levels.

Rinse Off

• Take a cool shower to rinse off salt water, sand, and any sunscreen or lotions. This helps to prevent clogged pores and irritation.

Gentle Cleansing

• Use a mild, hydrating body wash to avoid stripping your skin of its natural oils.
• For your face, use a gentle cleanser suitable for your skin type.

Soothe Sunburn

• If you’ve gotten a sunburn, apply aloe vera gel or a soothing after-sun lotion to the affected areas. Aloe vera has cooling and anti-inflammatory properties that can help alleviate pain and redness.

Moisturize

• After showering, pat your skin dry and generously apply a moisturizer to lock in hydration. Consider lotions with hyaluronic acid or ceramides for extra moisture retention.
• Don’t forget about your feet, which can get dry from walking on the sand.

Facial Care

• Follow up with a hydrating facial serum or oil, and a moisturizer. If your face feels particularly dry, consider using a hydrating face mask.
• Avoid using retinoids or products with high concentrations of vitamin C immediately after sun exposure, as they can irritate sunburned skin.

Rinse Your Hair

• Saltwater can be drying to your hair. Rinse your hair with fresh water as soon as possible after leaving the beach.

Use a Deep Conditioner

• Apply a deep conditioning treatment or hair mask to replenish moisture. Leave it on for the recommended time before rinsing.

Avoid Heat Styling

• Give your hair a break from heat styling tools to prevent additional damage. Let your hair air dry instead.

Wear Loose, Comfortable Clothing

• After a day at the beach, your skin might be more sensitive. Wear loose, breathable fabrics to avoid irritation.

Continue to Apply Sunscreen

• If you’ll be spending more time outdoors, remember to reapply sunscreen every two hours, especially if your skin is already sensitized.

Monitor Your Skin

• Keep an eye on any sunburn or irritation. If you experience severe discomfort, blistering, or swelling, it’s best to consult a healthcare professional.
