after sun or moisturiser: which is best for sunburn?
Sun protection keeps your skin looking its very best.
Even with the best intentions, it’s easy to forget to reapply your SPF and that can result in painful sunburn. Having a luxurious after sun on hand can make all the difference. An after sun lotion or soothing body butter nourishes your skin after a day in the sun. Making after sun part of your daily routine on holidays, or just whenever out in the sun, can increase the chances of keeping your skin-loving healthy glow.

What is the difference between after sun and moisturiser?
After sun acts a lot like a moisturiser – providing the same basic function of rehydrating your skin after too much exposure to UV rays. The difference is that After Sun is especially designed to be used after direct sun exposure, meaning that they include soothing ingredients, like aloe vera, shea butter, silk proteins, mango fruit extract and many other, skin loving indulgent ingredients. It will not only restore your skin but leave you with a soft, silky touch.
