Quick answer
For fast sunburn relief and soothing skin, apply a generous layer of after sun gel to clean, damp skin and reapply as needed throughout the day.
Why after sun gel works
After sun gels are formulated to cool and hydrate skin that has been exposed to the sun. Unlike lotions, they have a lightweight, watery texture that absorbs quickly without leaving a sticky residue, making them ideal for immediate post sun care.
The Vacation After Sun Gel is alcohol and dye-free, which means it won't sting or irritate already sensitive skin. Its non-sticky feel makes it comfortable to wear even in hot weather.
How to apply after sun gel for best results
- Cool down first: Take a cool shower or bath to lower your skin's temperature. Pat your skin dry gently—do not rub, as friction can aggravate sunburn. Check that your skin is damp but not dripping wet before applying the gel.
- Apply generously: Squeeze a generous amount of after sun gel into your palm and smooth it over the affected areas. Use enough to cover the skin with a thin, even layer. If the gel absorbs quickly, you may not have used enough—reapply a second layer.
- Reapply as needed: Reapply the gel every few hours or whenever your skin feels hot or tight. Keep it in the fridge for an extra cooling sensation. Watch for signs of severe sunburn like blistering or fever—if these occur, seek medical advice.
