What to Look for in an After-Sun Product Benefits Specific to Your Needs Swimming is a great cardiovascular exercise and a wonderful way to take some ‘me time’ but if you find that it impacts the health of your skin and hair, we can help you to choose a shampoo, shower gel and skin care for after swimming. 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. 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.

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. Aftersun is specifically designed to support the skin's healing process. “It’s lightweight, meaning it allows heat to leave the skin; it has a high-water content to replace water loss in the skin; plus, aftersun also contains soothing, anti-inflammatory antiseptic ingredients such as aloe, bisabolol, and allantoin,” says Denning. Is aftersun or moisturiser better for sunburn? 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. 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.”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.” But we get that things happen, so if you have accidentally gotten a little too much sun—or maybe it’s just hot out, and you want some sweet relief—we’re here with some of the very best after-sun products to have you feeling cool, calm and nourished.
