How often should I reapply?

Avoid making a rookie mistake! Reapply every 2 hours and after swimming, sweating and toweling off.

Do I need sunscreen when it’s cloudy?

Yup, 90% of UV rays still find their way through clouds, which means you can still get fried.

Yellow sun icon
When should I avoid sun?

We know it’s tough, but try to limit sun exposure when the sun’s rays are most intense (10am to 4pm).

yellow wave icon
Do I need SPF in the snow and water?

Yep. Reflections off water and snow can increase sun exposure by up to 50%. Keep that in mind when you’re surfing or on the slopes.

Does my newborn need protection too?

Keep newborns out of direct sunlight and always cover them with shade. Check with your pediatrician, before applying sunscreen to children under 6 months.

We've Got Answers

How Do You Take Care of Your Skin After a Sunburn?

So, you overdid it. Been there. The good news? You can help your skin bounce back. Start with a cool (but not freezing) shower to wash off any salt, sweat, or sunscreen buildup. Then, slather on a hydrating lotion with ingredients like aloe or soy to help calm and replenish your skin. If you’re feeling extra sensitive, wear loose, breathable clothing to keep things comfortable. And whatever you do, hands off the peeling skin. Let your body do its thing, stay moisturized, and give your skin the time it needs to heal up.

Does After Sun Care Work?

Yep, but let’s keep it real—after sun care won’t magically erase sun damage. What it can do is help calm redness, reduce inflammation, and keep your skin from drying out and peeling. Ingredients like aloe vera, vitamin E, and coconut oil work together to cool, hydrate, and nourish sun-exposed skin. And if you did get a little too much sun, using after sun products can make the recovery process way more comfortable.

What Is the Best Thing to Do After the Sun?

First thing's first—hydrate. Inside and out. Drink plenty of water to help your skin recover from any moisture loss, and slather on a soothing after sun lotion or gel (bonus points if it’s packed with aloe or coconut oil). If you’re feeling extra toasty, a cool shower or bath can help take the heat out of your skin. And don’t forget to moisturize—keeping your skin hydrated helps prevent peeling and your skin feeling fresh—so you’re ready to do it all again tomorrow.
