SUN

Aftersun hydration ritual

 

A soothing ritual that soothes and hydrates sun-kissed skin


- Start by making yourself a cool, hydrating drink. We recommend drinking gel water or electrolyte water with lime, Himalaya salt and sugar, when our bodies crave water the most. Both are said to have a deeply stabilising effect on the body’s fluid levels. 

- Gently but thoroughly cleanse your face with nourishing DAZE cleansing lotion or MUSE cleansing balm, using our soft konjac sponge. Massage the cleanser into dry skin and rinse off with water and the sponge using circular movements. If necessary, rinse off the product in the shower.

 - Take a refreshing, lukewarm shower to cool down your body and wash away sun cream, sweat, salt and dirt from your skin. As well as the cleansing properties of the water, a shower after a long day in the sun can also feel like a purifying experience for the mind. If you feel like it, you can alternate between cold and lukewarm water.

- If you can, have your shower outdoors or with a window open to feel the cool air on your skin.

- Wash your body with our organic, aloe vera-based PROTECT body wash. Inhale the calming lavender aromatherapy from your palms with three deep breaths before washing your body with the SLS-free lather.

- Gently pat your skin dry with a soft towel. Avoid rubbing with the towel, as your skin may be delicate after sun exposure.

- Apply our barrier-repairing HERO pH solutionall over your body and face to help rebuild the skin and provide the optimal conditions for it to restore its natural moisture levels.  

- Spray your body and face with our soothing and moisturisingface mist. Take a deep breath. Feel the tiny, cooling droplets on your skin, like summer rain on a lavender field.

- Apply our luxurious PRE & AFTER SUN serum-lotion from head to toe to soothe, restore and hydrate your skin.

- Apply a thick layerof PRE & AFTER SUN serum-lotion to your face, neck and décolletage, as if it were a face mask.Leave it on your skin for as long as you like. Help your skin absorb the product by massaging it in with gentle movements.

- Massage your lips with nourishing YANG lip treatmentto give them extra nourishment.

- Once the PRE & AFTER SUNhas been absorbed, you can apply your face cream and/or oil as usual.

- Finish your hydrating after-sun ritual with fresh honeydew melon. A refreshing and nourishing snack that promotes hydration and contains skin-repairing vitamin C. You might also want to drink a large glass of water, as the sun really does dehydrate the body.
