Most of the time, after-sun care products, which comes in sprays, creams, gels, lotions and milks, are neglected when you pack our beach essentials. Sure, protecting your skin before sun exposure is important, but, you should also take note that post-sun treatment is a very important part of the summer skincare process. It avoids post-swim dryness, stops ugly peeling, and prolongs your tan; but most of all, it soothes and heals the skin that got a little too much sun.
