Your expert pharmacist's advice
How do I moisturize my skin after the sun?
During sun exposure, the sun's UVA and UVB rays penetrate the epidermis and dermis in minute quantities. Prolonged exposure to the sun's rays can alter the epidermal barrier and cause considerable damage to skin cells. Combined with salty seawater, wind and sand, these ultraviolet rays dry out the skin and make it more fragile. Whatever your skin type and length of exposure, apply a moisturizing cream to your face and body after your shower. Shea butter, argan oil, aloe vera or monoi are rich products that provide deep hydration for the skin.
