Back from a day outdoors, take a few minutes for your skin. An essential routine begins with noticing how it feels and choosing a suitable cosmetic.
01 · Listen to your skin
If it is sunburnt, leave the sun, cool it with cool water and protect it until healed. Do not apply ice or burst blisters. The NHS guide to sunburn.
02 · Read the whole formula
“After-sun” describes when to use a product: check ingredients, fragrance and directions too. Desylab after-sun lotion, 250 ml, contains aloe, plant oils and bisabolol. It is fragranced; its page provides the full INCI list checked against the current formula.
03 · A moment of care
Apply Desylab lotion after cleansing and massage gently until absorbed, following the pack instructions. It provides cosmetic moisturising care and does not protect against UV rays. Avoid use on broken skin or blistered sunburn.
04 · When to get help
Blisters, swelling, fever or feeling unwell after sun exposure call for prompt medical advice. Seek help for sunburn in a young child too. When to consult a professional.
