Soothing sun overexposure with Décaar

It feels good to spend time in the sunshine, but it can take a toll on your skin. No matter how many times we’re reminded to never leave the house without applying sunscreen, slip-ups are still possible.
In simplest terms, skin damage occurs from overexposure to UV rays put out by the sun and tanning beds. As UV rays are absorbed into the skin, they damage the DNA of skin cells. A study of almost 300 women found that UV rays were responsible for 80.3% of skin’s aging, including wrinkles and skin texture changes. One of the biggest problems with sun damage is that it’s cumulative, building over time from the first childhood exposures. Plus air pollution, cigarette smoke, and household chemicals add to environmental stress on the skin. Free radicals, created through exposure to these pollutants, damage the skin’s structure through oxidative photodamage – premature aging, lines, wrinkles, dullness, uneven tone, and loss of firmness.
Knowing how to treat your overexposed skin is vital, so DÉCAAR shares a few tips on caring for your skin when it’s a little overexposed and tender or when it’s blazing red and downright painful to touch.

Hydrate

Once you are safely out of the sun, the first thing you should reach for after realizing you’ve been burned is your water bottle. When your skin is sunburned, fluid is drawn toward the surface of the skin and away from the rest of the body, which can lead to dehydration. Down one more glass of water than you think you need. Or, go for something like coconut water that hydrates while adding electrolytes back into your system.

Reach for immediate relief

DÉCAAR Delicate Soothing Gel is designed to take away the sting of a sunburn, calm redness, reduce inflammation, and promote healing. It is specially formulated to help restore your skin’s natural barrier function while soothing and calming irritation One of its active ingredients is aloe – a sunburn miracle worker. Aloe is a deeply moisturizing botanical and contains both glycoproteins, which help to reduce inflammation, and polysaccharides, which aid in skin repair. Panthenol is also blended along with urea and glycyrrhetinic acid, in order to deeply moisturize and calm skin.

DÉCAAR Delicate Soothing Gel is the perfect after-sun treatment, but is also great at any time of the year as an all-over body moisturizer. Especially for those that don’t always want a heavy cream or oil-based moisturizer. A few spritzes of this over the body will give you all the nutrients you need for all-day hydration without the feeling of any product lingering on the skin. Also, it is ideal to soothe skin after any hair removal procedure. The deep penetrating effect offers long lasting cool-to-warm soothing relief, skin becomes softer, firmer & smoother on the face and body. Rich moisture that protects skin from harmful external environments.

Moisture

A bath is always therapeutic. Not too cold to shock your system, but not too warm to irritate your sensitive skin. Scoop in a generous amount of hydrating bath milk and soak for as long as you need. Coconut milk is loaded with beneficial fatty acids to soothe your dry, itchy skin and reduce inflammation. It’s also naturally antiseptic so while you soak, you’ll be cleansed and moisturized at the same time. After toweling off, follow up once again with the Delicate Soothing Gel.

Protection 

When skin is already burnt, there’s nothing worse than further exposing it to harmful UV rays. For the days following a burn, try to cover up the affected area with clothing. If wearing long sleeves is just not an option for you in 100-degree heat, definitely be diligent about covering your burn in SPF as often as possible. Even if it’s cloudy, even if you think you’ll only be outside for a few minutes. To keep your skin safe from sun exposure, it is recommended to apply sun cream 30 minutes before going outside, however DÉCAAR SPF creams protect immediately. Exposure to sunlight has health benefits too. However the number of UV rays your skin can stand depends on a number of factors, such as an individuals’ complexion, genetics, time of day and location. Usually skin is only safe for between 5-30 minutes.
