There is no doubt that the sun can have a positive effect on our health and sense of well being. But whilst a suntan is desirable for many, overexposure to the sun's rays can cause pain and discomfort, as well as long-term damage to the skin.
It is easy to get 'caught out' by the sun, whether at home or abroad and people often put themselves at risk without even realising. The purpose of this website is to provide you with all the information you need to ensure that you and your family stay safe in the sun while still enjoying its benefits.
AfterBURN Sunburn Rescue Gel is a unique dermatological gel with
an osmotic action that draws water from within the skin (the dermis)
to the surface (the epidermis) helping to rehydrate and treat sun
damaged skin. AfterBURN Sunburn Rescue Gel is odourless, non sticky and non-staining. It is rapidly absorbed and acts quickly on
the skin.
Sunburn is effectively a radiation burn. Unlike any other type of burn, sunburn is not immediately apparent. By the time the skin starts to become red, the damage has already been done.
Skin damage can start within the first 30 minutes of exposure and should be treated as soon
as possible.
Why treat it? Overexposure to the sun can lead to:
- Redness of the skin
- Irritation and discomfort
- Peeling, scaling and blistering
High exposure to the sun also triggers a chemical reaction in your skin formation releasing
cell-damaging free radicals, which cause premature skin aging and can develop into skin
cancer. If these free radicals can be stopped - a process called free radical quenching -
their effects are minimised.
How should I treat it? Apply AfterBURN Sunburn Rescue Gel which, unlike typical 'aftersun' products that merely moisturise, actually treats the skin from within. AfterBURN has been shown in clinical tests to treat the major symptoms of sunburn. A conventional 'aftersun' treatment may not be effective and is simply not enough.
When should I treat it? It is essential that sunburn is treated as soon as possible. Since the symptoms, such as reddening, itchiness and blistering, can take up to 24 hours to develop it is advisable to treat the skin if you ever suspect you have been over exposed or, to be on the safe side, straight after spending any prolonged periods in the sun.
AfterBURN Sunburn Rescue Gel is a revolutionary new product specifically which, unlike traditional aftersun products, is developed and clinically proven to treat and repair sun damaged skin.
