How to repair different parts?
face
The face is the most delicate part, which is more sensitive and fragile than other parts, but people often pay more attention to the maintenance of the face. As long as we avoid irritating ingredients, replenish water in time and cooperate with whitening in the later stage, it is not difficult to recover.
body
The body's after-sun repair mainly lies in whitening. To be gradual, we must have the effect of moisturizing and hydrating. Do not directly choose high-concentration acidic whitening products. The most important thing is persistence.
hair
This is the most easily overlooked part. Under intense ultraviolet radiation, keratin fibers in hair are gradually lost, which will not only lead to dry hair, but also easily break, itch and dandruff, and oil will be more frequent. And because the high temperature destroys the pigment of the hair, the hair looks dull, so it is also essential to care for the hair after sun exposure!
Matters needing attention after sunburn
1. Avoid using skin care products containing alcohol and acid.
The most important thing after sun exposure is to repair and soothe the skin, not to whiten it. High concentration whitening products may cause inflammation of sensitive skin.
3. Don't use exfoliating products in the short term, avoid rubbing the skin hard, and be gentle when washing your face and taking a bath.
4. The medical beauty project cannot be carried out immediately after sun exposure, so as to temporarily reduce the use of various functional products and give the skin a time to repair and relieve.
5. During the recovery period, try to do a good job of sun protection for indoor activities, use umbrellas and hats, and apply sunscreen.
