Skin care after tanning

Should I moisturize after tanning? How to take care of your skin after tanning? How do you soothe a tanning bed burn? Here are 4 more tips to quickly soothe irritation after indoor and outdoor tanning. You will definitely find something helpful for yourself!

Milk bath

It may surprise you, but milk helps to soothe sun irritation and has many beneficial skin care properties. Thanks to the milk bath, your skin will be deeply moisturized, smooth and more elastic! You can add dried lavender flowers to the prepared bath, which has anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties. It also miraculously soothes irritations.

Strawberry masks and wraps

Who doesn't like strawberries?! Fresh, juicy and sweet, they are not only delicious, but also incredibly effective in soothing sun irritation. They moisturize, soothe itching, burning and even out skin tone. They also help reduce swelling and soothe redness of the skin. All you have to do is crush the strawberries with a fork and apply them on the skin. Pure pleasure!

Honey

Irritated skin should not be treated with heavy and greasy lotions. Honey, on the other hand, is an exception to this rule, as it contains anti inflammatory and antibacterial properties that accelerate healing. Just put a small amount of honey on a gauze or cotton pad and apply it to the sun-irritated skin. 

Cucumber

Cucumber is rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. Thanks to them it perfectly protects and nourishes the skin. Just apply the slices to the sun-irritated places and leave for 30 minutes. Cucumber juice works especially well on the delicate skin of the face.

What to avoid when sunburned?

It is also very important to know what to avoid when you get a sunburn so as not to make your condition worse.

Firstly, do not expose sun-irritated skin to further sunlight.

Secondly, do not take an icy bath. Combination of extremely cold water and an overheated skin can lead to a thermal shock. We wrote about the need for cool, but not icy baths HERE.

Thirdly, remember to dress appropriately - make sure to cover the burned parts of the body.

Fourthly, stop using perfumes for a while, they dry out your skin. You can replace your favorite fragrance with lavender oil, which has wonderful soothing properties.
