Post-Sunburn Skin Care: What to Look For
If you find yourself sunburned, your skincare strategy should focus on two key actions: soothing inflammation and neutralizing UV-induced damage.
Ingredients That Matter
Choose products rich in plant-based antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds. Look for the following natural extracts in your skincare:
-
Coffee – Packed with antioxidants, helps reduce oxidative stress
-
Tea (Green & Black) – Calms redness and defends against UV-related damage
-
Chamomile – A go-to for its soothing, calming effects on inflamed skin
-
Feverfew – Known for its anti-inflammatory and photo-protective properties
These botanicals not only ease visible redness, but also counteract free radical damage caused by ultraviolet exposure.
Pro Tip for Product Selection: Always read ingredient labels and opt for formulations specifically designed for post-sun exposure. Antioxidants are key in reversing early cellular damage before it escalates into long-term skin concerns.
