After spending time in the sun you might find your skin dry, burned, red or irritated. Making sure to cool and calm your skin after sun exposure is just as important as anything you do before heading out in the sun. Keeping your skin moisturized is the key to after-sun care. Using hydrating moisturizers on your face, body lotions and moisturizing shower gels on your body, and conditioners for your hair are all ways to properly treat your skin after a long day in the sun.
