The days are here, friends! You know what days we are talking about, the ones where you sit by the pool, throw a football on the beach, go on the lake, or, quite literally, you soak up the summer sun. There is nothing quite like a lazy summer day in the sun, but you\u2019ll suffer the consequences if you don\u2019t properly care for your skin. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In your younger years, you probably weren\u2019t as vigilant about sun protection<\/a>. Once you pass a certain threshold, you understand the importance of skin care, especially if you are going to be in the sun. You also understand that you have to properly care for the skin after sun exposure. You won\u2019t always return home from a day in the sun with a sunburn<\/a>. You can, however, decrease your risk of sunburn<\/a> by taking precautions, such as applying sunscreen and finding shade when possible. When you feel like your skin is a little hotter than usual after sun exposure, apply the after sun lotion<\/strong> in this article. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Green Tea<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This after sun lotion<\/a> contains green tea<\/strong>, which may seem like an unusual ingredient for such a DIY skin care product. Green tea works to reduce inflammation<\/a> and provides lots of antioxidants and polyphenols that fight sun damage and free radicals. Even if you do not get burnt, these antioxidants can help fight the free radicals that develop from sun exposure. Green tea also works to fight the signs of aging<\/a> and promotes rejuvenation, which is necessary after sun exposure. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aloe Vera Gel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

When you think of after sun care, your mind probably goes straight to aloe vera<\/strong> gel. It soothes the skin and helps accelerate recovery from a sunburn<\/a>. If you put it in the fridge and then apply it to your warm, sunburnt skin, it is a revelation. Most people have used the sap from the aloe plant to soothe skin for centuries. It has an instant cooling effect and works to fight inflammation. Studies have shown that aloe vera also increases cell turnover and promotes new cell growth. Mostly composed of water, aloe vera works to moisturize and nourish the body, enhancing the skin barrier<\/a> and preventing moisture loss after application.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essential Oils<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Similar to aloe vera, some essential oils, such as peppermint<\/a> essential oil, provide an instant cooling effect when topically applied to the skin. Peppermint essential oil helps to draw heat out of the body, which is necessary if you have a sunburn. Finally, the lavender essential oil in this after sun lotion has a soothing scent that helps to calm the mind and body<\/a>. It also works to clean the skin\u2019s surface, reduce inflammation, and lessen pain. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
