One thing in advance: I myself am not the type of person who always wants to go into the sun to get a tan. This is mainly because sun is the number 1 cause of wrinkles. However, I don't want to miss out on fresh air and a walk either, which means that my skin is also exposed to a few UV rays. In order to counteract wrinkles as effectively as possible, I rely on skin care products in the evening after a sunny day, and that's what we're talking about today..
Why your facial skin needs care after the sun despite sunscreen
It goes without saying that the way into the sun must not pass by the sun cream. The rule is: Anyone who goes into the sun even for a few minutesputs on sunscreen. A few minutes in the sun are enough for the ultraviolet rays to damage the skin. But it's not just about sunburn or oily and blemished skin!
On the one hand, UV rays drythe skin and thus provide an essential factor for skin aging. On the other hand, they also ensure thatfree radicals arisewhich can cause further damage to the cells and the collagen framework. UV rays not only cause wrinkles, but also sagging connective tissue, inflammation and skin diseases such as skin cancer.
In summary, this is what UV rays do:
- UV rays dry out the skin.
- UV rays cause free radicals on the skin.
- UV rays ensure that ourSkin wrinkles faster forms.
- UV rays damage the genetic makeup and can cause skin cancer.
But it gets even better, because the air that we let into our skin is not that fresh: Dust and fine dust, smog and other environmental influences reach our skin cells and intensify the effect of the UV rays. The skin is dry, irritated and covered with fine harmful particles.
The other day I went on a long walk in the forest at the weekend, during which I benefited from all factors: On the way into the forest, my skin came into contact with UV rays, environmental toxins, fine dust and smog. In the forest itself, there was dry dust from the ground as well as more sun rays.
Because my skin was really stressed in the evening after the sunny day, I used a simple but effective care program for my face:
Skin care after the sun in two steps
Even after a walk on a sunny day, the face has endured a lot: If you do without a care program, your facial skin expects further potential consequential damage. The procedure, however, is as simple as it is effective:
Step 1: Cleanse your face and remove pimples or blackheads
The first step is to cleanse the skin of the face. Dirt, dust, and smogother environmental influences we remove and prevent free radicals from wreaking havoc. When cleaning the face, it is important that theskin's own protective barrier is attacked as little as possible. This means that normal soaps or shower gel are not suitable here. You need a facial cleanser that caters to the needs of your skin in need of care..
I use that myselfGentle Facial Cleanser. Why The cleansing effect is based on oils and clay. This makes the facial cleanser very gentle and at the same time particularly thorough. In addition, the formula contains vitamin E and panthenol, which is why the cleaning process fights free radicals. Vitamin E and the formation of new cells activates panthenol. This is especially important after UV rays and environmental influences in order to counteract wrinkles.rken.
When I'm done cleaning my face, I dry my face with a clean towel. But drying doesn't mean that I rub the towel over my face like sandpaper! Dabbing is better: this way I don't damage the skin barrier and I exert less physical pressure on the skin.aus.

Step 2: Provide the skin with moisture, essential nutrients and antioxidants
Due to the UV rays and environmental influences, the facial skin has endured a lot. To do something good for her, I use the for facial careHydra Defense Cream. This has the following reasons:
- The cream provides plenty of moisture, more than conventional moisturizers. That's because theyurea andhyaluronan contains two excellent moisturizing ingredients..
- The Hydra Defense Cream delivers a lotvitamin C and E. This effectively fights free radicals on the skin, because the two vitamins are potent antioxidants. In addition, vitamin C supports the rebuilding of the collagen structure, thereby making an important contribution to firm,wrinkle-free skin!
- In addition to various relevant nutrients for skin regeneration, the Hydra Defense Cream also provides occlusive cell protection. This barrier enables the care substances to develop their effect and also protects the skin from further drying out and from external influences.

The result: a fresh appearance and protection against wrinkles
The skin cleansing and facial care take less than 10 minutes in total and the effect lasts for a long time: I was able to counteract the causes of wrinkles from the sun. And the positive side effect is that my face looks young again and has a healthy freshness without dark circles. That is why facial care not only makes sense after a sunny day, but also when you want to do something good for yourself.
