After Sun Care – After Sun Lotion and Gel for Skin After a Day in the Sun
After sun lotion or gel is skincare you apply after time in the sun to cool, moisturise and soothe your skin. Sun, wind, salt water and chlorine dry your skin out, so after a day on the water or at the beach it often feels tight and dry. A light gel refreshes your skin straight away, while a richer cream moisturises it in the evening and keeps it soft.
Our range includes an aloe vera after sun gel for face and body, an after sun moisturiser for the face, and an aloe vera hand sanitiser for the beach and travel.

How to Care for Your Skin After Sun Exposure
- Cool your skin under a lukewarm shower and rinse off salt, chlorine and sunscreen.
- Gently pat your skin dry with a towel rather than rubbing.
- Apply the gel to slightly damp skin, on every area that was in the sun.
- In the evening, apply moisturiser to your face, and more gel to your body if needed.
- Drink plenty of water, and protect your skin the next day with sunscreen or clothing.
What to Look For in the Ingredients
- Aloe vera: refreshes your skin and eases the feeling of tightness.
- Hyaluronic acid and glycerin: help your skin hold on to moisture.
- No alcohol or fragrance: alcohol dries your skin out further, and fragrance can irritate skin that's been in the sun.
For extra cooling, keep the gel in the fridge, especially when your skin feels warm after the sun.
After Sun Care After Water Sports
On a SUP, surfboard or sailing boat, your skin spends all day in the sun, the wind and salt water. Salt and wind dry your skin out more than a day at the beach, so rinse it with fresh water first when you get back. Your face, lips and shoulders are the most exposed, so care for them first. Next time, protect them with a UV rash guard and a cap.
How to Store After Sun Products
Store gel and cream somewhere cool, at up to around 25 °C, and don't leave them in a hot car or in the sun. Once opened, use them within the period shown on the packaging.
