After a day in the sun, your skin is extra vulnerable. A good aftersun helps to soothe and hydrate the skin, but many aftersun products also contain fragrance. In this blog, you will read why fragrance-free aftersun is more pleasant for some skin types, and we will look at five options.
Why your skin is extra vulnerable after sun exposure
UV radiation damages the outer layer of your skin, even if you have used sunscreen. No sunscreen offers complete protection. After a day in the sun, the skin barrier is often weakened, causing the skin to retain less moisture and dry out more quickly.
This is precisely when fragrance is a less logical addition. The skin is extra sensitive then, and fragrance is a known cause of skin irritation. A fragrance-free aftersun avoids that extra trigger in any case.
Important to know: aftersun does not contain sun filters and therefore does not offer protection against UV radiation. Always use a separate sunscreen during sun exposure, and only use aftersun afterwards.
