Advice after a sunburn: how to effectively repair and soothe the skin

In summer, the skin is exposed to UV rays for longer. They can weaken the skin, causing redness, tightness and even burns. That's why we need to PROTECT ourselves from the sun and its rays on a daily basis, to protect the skin barrier, limit oxidative stress and promote skin regeneration.

Here's our PERS skincare routine to repair and soothe skin after sunburn.

1. Gently cleanse the skin

After heavy exposure, the skin needs gentle but thorough cleansing to remove sunscreens, salt, sand and pollution particles.

The PERS double cleanser is ideal:

• Radiance Cleansing Balm Dissolves lipophilic impurities (sun filters, sebum, dirt) without aggressing the skin, thanks to its anti-pollution agent.
• Soothing Cleansing Gel Deep-cleansing, soothes irritation and strengthens the skin barrier with Centella Asiatica and a vitamin C& E complex.

Skin is nourished, soothed and ready to receive subsequent skin care products.

2. Repair intensely with an appropriate post-sun care product

The right thing to do after sunburn: apply a repairing skin care product. PERS Intense Repair Rich Cream is ideal for repairing your skin. With its balm-like, enveloping texture, it has been designed to act like a "cosmetic bandage", creating the ideal environment to help skin renew and regenerate intensely.

Tip: Apply Rich Cream and leave on for 10 minutes like a mask if your skin feels tight. Then remove any excess with a cotton pad.

3. Enhance your complexion while respecting your skin

Foran instant burst of natural radiance, opt for Glow Balm. A dab on your lips and cheekbones, and you're done!
