Whether you've spent the day at the beach, hiking in the mountains, or lounging in yard, the sun's warmth and light can do wonders for your mood and well-being.
However, the sun can also take a toll on your skin. After soaking up those rays, your skin needs some TLC to recover and stay radiant. So let's delve into natural and effective ways to pamper your skin post-sun.
Aloe Vera Gel & a Tall Glass of Water
Aloe vera and water are your skin's best friend after sun exposure. Aloe vera gel is known for its cooling and healing properties, and is a miracle worker for sun-kissed skin. The plant's gel is rich in vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants, which help to soothe irritation, reduce redness, and promote healing. Add a little of the aloe and some cucumber to your water for a refreshing cool down.
How to Use
-
Cut a fresh aloe vera leaf and extract the gel. You can also use pure aloe vera gel from a reputable brand.
-
Apply a generous amount of gel to the affected areas, gently massaging it into the skin.
-
Allow it to absorb fully. The cooling sensation will provide instant relief and help calm any sunburn.
Hydrate with a Honey and Avocado Mask
Sun exposure can deplete your skin's moisture levels. Honey and avocado can help replenish lost moisture. Honey is a natural humectant, meaning it draws moisture into the skin, and avocado is loaded with lots of good fatty acids helping to moisturize, heal, and gently exfoliate your skin.
How to Use
-
Mix 3 tablespoon of raw honey with 6 tablespoons of avocado.
-
Apply the mixture evenly to your body.
-
Leave the mask on for 5-20 minutes to allow the ingredients to work their magic.
-
Rinse off with lukewarm water, pat your skin dry, and enjoy the immediate hydration boost
