Why is after sun care important?

1. Exposure to the sun damages skin and speeds up aging

Sun is your best friend when it comes to achieving a tanned glow. Unfortunately, it can also be your skin's worst enemy. UV rays lead to dehydration and your skin drying out. They can also cause oxidative damage and speed up the signs of aging on the skin. As a result, it's crucial you take care when spending time in the sun and use maximum protection when you head outdoors. Back home, take the time to pamper your sun-damaged skin. Sunscreen protects skin during exposure, while after sun care is essential to limiting the damage caused by UV rays. Even once you head back inside, skin continues to suffer the harmful effects of the sun's rays. After sun care rehydrates skin and helps it repair. It's also the best way of keeping your tan for as long as possible.

2. Clarins after sun care

All Clarins after sun products are based on extracts of plants renowned for their soothing, hydrating and regenerating properties. These products help skin heal after exposure to the sun and keep your tan looking glowing for longer. When on holiday, as soon as you get in from the beach, gently cleanse your skin to remove salt, sand and chlorine. Carefully dry your skin and apply the REFRESHING AFTER SUN GEL to your body and the SOOTHING AFTER SUN BALM to your face. Skin is left rehydrated, soothed and refreshed, with your tan perfected and primed to last as long as possible. Tip: continue applying the Balm after your holiday to help maintain your tan.
