Of course, the major downfall is that this product, being a shower gel, is designed to be washed off which means you don’t get quite the same skin-soothing benefits as you would from a leave-on cream. But instead of choosing between the two, why not invest in this shower gel anda cream?You'll get double beauty brownie points!

The verdict: Aftersuns

Dry skin is a real downside of swimming and if you swim in a chlorinated pool, you might find that chlorine can make your skin feel tight and dehydrated. If you are prone to eczema or sensitive skin, you may find your skin is particularly affected by swimming.

Ok, so this technically isn’t an aftersun lotion – but hear us out. Shower gel is an everyday essential that many of us wouldn’t go without – especially during the warm, summer months. And this one, from Clarins, is so much more than your average shower gel. Laced with two plant extracts (organic aloe vera extract and soapwort), it cools the skin as you shower to calm sun-damaged skin while washing away any salt, sand, and chlorine. If your hair has been damaged by chlorine, Green People’s Quinoa & Artichoke Shampoo and Conditioner are the perfect hair care products to use after swimming.Jordan says: “Investing in a good swim hat is a good place to start and helps to protect your hair from chlorine damage. Washing the hair immediately after swimming can further help to minimise damage.” Can an after sun lotion help me keep my suntan longer? Yes, the care and moisture an after sun product provide results in a longer-lasting suntan. This is because dry skin sheds its cells faster, thereby losing its tan. Consistent application of an after sun product combats this. Sunburncan occur within 10 minutesof sun exposure for some people.When you first noticeany signs of sunburn you should get out of the sun, find some shade and have a cool shower/bath to help cool theskin down in the firstinstance,” says Denning. “Using cooling, gentleaftersun lotions will help to further cool the skin and also replace some of themoisture that will have been lost by being burned.” Dr. King recommends applying after-sun lotions and gels with your fingers, as you would with a traditional body lotion. “But be sure to wash your hands afterward if the lotion contains hydrocortisone, as well as if it contains self-tanner so your fingers won’t stain,” she says. Gently remove all traces of salt, chlorine, and sun lotion with the unique Institut Esthederm Micellar After Sun Face and Body Shower Gel. Containing micellar molecules, this luxurious shower gel lifts dirt and residue without the need to rub the skin. Its molecules cluster together, providing effortless cleansing action.

She also recommends products with DNA repair enzymes, which help to repair damage caused by UV rays. These may not be found in many after-sun products, but they’re ingredients to keep in mind for when your skin has calmed down. French pharmacy brand La Roche-Posay is known for its effective formulations that are non-irritating and especially well-suited for anyone following a skincare routine for sensitive skin. And the brand's latest product, AP+M, is no exception. While it’s not marketed as an aftersun lotion, this nourishing balm has been specifically formulated to soothe and repair dry, itchy skin – something that many of us experience after time spent in the sun. After a long day under the summer sun, the skin needs all the support it can get. UV radiation places a burden on the skin and dries it out, which we experience as tautness and a burning sensation – NIVEA After Sun care products provide immediate help and relief. The ingredients and specially developed care formulas are ideal for sensitive skin, helping restore the skin’s natural protective barrier and assisting with regeneration and relaxation as part of your after sun care regime. The light, cooling texture allows for gentle and effective application of the after sun products, which is particularly important for irritated and sensitive skin. In addition to using NIVEA’s After Sun care products, there is even more you can do for your skin after sun exposure: Take a break in the shade and then rinse the skin of sun lotion and sand, salt or chlorine under a lukewarm shower. Simply lightly pat the skin dry with a towel and avoid rubbing too vigorously. Sunlight does not only affect the skin, it also stresses your hair when it is in need of extra gentle care. An extra rich shampoo or a hair treatment will provide your hair, stressed from sun exposure, with long-lasting care and keep it soft and healthy.Shower before and after swimming. Help to stop chlorine from clinging to your skin by thoroughly drenching the hair and skin in water before swimming. After swimming visit the showers again and use shower gel and shampoo to wash your body and hair thoroughly. Don’t forget to also cleanse chlorine from your face with a gentle cleanser or face wash. When caring for the skin after sun exposure, I recommend soothing, nutrient-rich ingredients like aloe vera, cucumber, or hyaluronic acid,” says aesthetician Melanie Grant. “My advice is to apply a cool compress, drink plenty of fluids, and apply a lightweight fluid or lotion rich in humectants, plant oils, and antioxidants.” This luxurious shower gel is suitable for use on the face and the entire body. It works to rid skin of residue and dirt, so that it feels soft, hydrated, and cared for. Key Benefits Suit up. It’s advisable to wear a rash vest when participating in water sports or snorkelling, but those with sensitive or sun-sensitive skin may also benefit from wearing UV-protective clothing when simply swimming in the sea or in chlorinated water. Disclaimer: While this is an article about the best after-sun products, it would be bad beauty behavior of us to not first preach the importance of daily sun protection. UV damage is no joke, and it’s essential to wear broad-spectrum coverage every single day, rain, hail, or shine.

Natural’ has become a marketing tool in the skincare sphere. And because it’s an unregulated term, many products claim to be natural without actually being natural (and by natural we mean free from synthetically derived ingredients). This aftersun lotion, from Dr Hauschka, is different. Formulated with 100% natural and/or organic cosmetics, it has been certified to NATRUE standard – so you can trust that the claims are true. It’s free from synthetic fragrances, dyes, and preservatives and is free from mineral oils and silicone. Note: aftersun lotions are not alternatives to sun tan lotions and sun creams. Make sure to protect your skin from irreparable damage by applying sunscreen before exposing it to the sun.
