Use a single body cream throughout the year and as an after-sun!
Every year we buy after-sun cream, use it on vacation, and then abandon it, throwing it away or storing it for the following year. It is not healthy to keep an opened cosmetic for more than 12 months unless otherwise indicated by its PAO, and it is not sustainable to throw away an unfinished cosmetic. For this reason, we offer you our Light body cream: ideal as an after-sun, but can be used throughout the year.
After a long day spent in the sun, our skin needs special care to rehydrate and regenerate, and this is where Lumea cosmetics' Light body cream comes into play.
What differentiates a normal body cream from an after-sun cream is the soothing and regenerating INCI that the cosmetic used after sun exposure possesses, unlike the former. The light body cream contains soothing and regenerating actives in addition to moisturizing and elasticizing ones. It is an essential product to maintain the health and beauty of skin exposed to the sun's rays because the presence of 40% snail slime can regenerate the skin, exfoliating and renewing it, while panthenol, also known as vitamin B5, is involved in the skin's protection mechanisms, counteracts redness and inflammation, is protective, and prevents dryness.
BUT WHAT ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL CHARACTERISTICS OF AN AFTER-SUN CREAM?
1 An effective after-sun cream must provide deep hydration to dry and dehydrated skin. After sun exposure, the skin can become dry, cracked, and dehydrated, and this is where shea butter, olive oil, argan oil, and sweet orange oil come into play.
2 It should also have soothing and calming properties to relieve any redness, irritation, or sunburn caused by solar rays. Light intervenes with snail slime, panthenol, and olive oil.
3 Solar rays damage skin cells, compromising their health and accelerating the skin aging process. The highly antioxidant snail slime protects cells from damage caused by free radicals and promotes cell regeneration, along with argan oil and blueberry extract.
4 In addition to hydrating the skin, a quality after-sun cream should also create a protective barrier to prevent further moisture loss. Natural oils like argan oil, olive oil, sweet orange oil, panthenol, and shea butter play an important role in forming this protective barrier, helping to retain moisture in the skin and prevent dehydration.
5 An ideal after-sun cream, in our opinion, should be light, non-sticky, and quickly absorbed into the skin. This allows it to be easily applied after sun exposure without leaving a feeling of heaviness or greasiness on the skin. And what could be lighter than our LEGGERA body cream?
6 Last but extremely important, it is not easy to find an after-sun that also considers blood vessels, in this case, capillaries. A very sensitive issue for those who suffer from capillary fragility and prominent veins. The light body cream contains blueberry extract that strengthens capillaries, always suffering between heat and direct sun exposure.
