After-sun detail

After a day outdoors, a light gel or lotion with the active, aloe and panthenol helps skin feel comfortable and supports an even-looking tone over time. Keep the texture fresh and fast-absorbing for large areas. Remind customers that after-sun care never replaces sunscreen.

Antioxidant fluid detail

A morning fluid with antioxidants under sunscreen is the core of a tone and age routine. Keep it light so customers apply enough sunscreen on top.
