by Bettina Miski on Aug 04, 2023
Even with proper sun protection, our skin can get overwhelmed on some hot summer days. Without getting sunburnt, we can still feel stripped or heat on our skin. But knowing the right ingredients and products to pick up, you’ll be able to ease the discomfort, and soothe and heal your skin efficiently! These will be your go-to saviors to rejuvenate yourself after the strong summer sun.
Aloe Vera
When it comes to sunburn relief, aloe vera remains a favorite. A succulent filled with natural soothing and cooling properties that bring instant relief to the skin. You can choose products like the COSRX Aloe Soothing Sun Cream SPF50+ PA+++ for prevention. It’s everything you can ask for in a daily sun cream. Lightweight, provides broad-spectrum sun protection, calms and moisturizes your skin. For aftercare when your skin already feels “overkissed” by the sun, choose a richer product like the CHASIN' RABBITS Aloe U Vera Much Soothing Gel. It offers an instant cooling sensation and provides deep hydration to parched and sunburned skin.
Cucumber
Just the thought of a crisp bite into a cucumber slice sound so refreshing, right? Imagine placing it on your sunburned skin. Instantly cools and soothes your discomfort. Cucumber is a hydrating powerhouse, packed with antioxidants and vitamins that promote skin healing. But instead of mushing an actual cucumber on your face, you can indulge in products that were created to enhance its powers for your benefit. Klairs Daily Skin Softening Water has 45% cucumber water, leaving your skin refreshed and hydrated. A great way to soothe and gently get rid of dead skin cells even when your skin feels hypersensitive.
Chamomile
Known for its calming properties, chamomile is an age-old remedy for soothing and healing the skin. Packed with anti-inflammatory compounds, it works wonders in reducing redness, calming irritation, and promoting skin repair. Incorporating chamomile into any of your skincare steps will provide gentle hydration and a calming boost. Pick a product with chamomile extract or chamomile-infused water and let it be your go-to remedy for tender care during the summer.
Pear and Beet
Okay, pear and beet are probably not the first things that come to your mind when you want to cool down your skin, right? But I'M FROM knows their benefits very well which is why they infused them into their pads. Wild pear leaves in the Pear Soothing Pad help cool and soothe irritated skin, and boost hydration with its natural plant-based hyaluronic acid. While the red beet extract in the Beet Refresh Pad will richly moisturize your stripped skin, while the beet’s beta-carotene content will calm and soothe your irritated skin.
When summer and overexposure to the sun strike, it's crucial to choose the correct ingredients to soothe and heal your skin quickly. Besides a cooling relief, these elements mentioned above also have healing properties, making sure you won’t only feel better, but your skin will also be able to strengthen fast. But remember, prevention is key, so always protect your skin with sunscreen and seek shade during peak sun hours.
