Excessive sun exposure can cause an inflammatory response in the skin known as sunburn. This phenomenon is not only annoying, but it can damage the superficial layers of the dermis, dehydrate tissues and trigger oxidative processes that affect skin health. In this context, aloe vera has become a reference natural ally thanks to its powerful calming, regenerating and anti-inflammatory action.
At Atlantia, we work with pure aloe vera from the Canary Islands, one of the varieties richest in active ingredients due to the privileged climatic conditions in which it grows. Through our products, we offer effective dermocosmetic solutions to care for the skin after sun exposure.
WHAT HAPPENS TO THE SKIN AFTER A SUNBURN?
When ultraviolet (UV) radiation penetrates the skin, it causes the production of free radicals, destabilizes cell membranes and triggers an inflammatory response. This results in redness, burning, swelling and even peeling. In addition, the skin loses water quickly, which aggravates the feeling of tightness and discomfort.
It is essential to act quickly to restore skin balance, deeply hydrate and promote cell regeneration. This is where aloe vera plays a decisive role.
PROPERTIES OF ALOE VERA AGAINST SUNBURN
Aloe vera juice contains more than 75 active compounds, including vitamins, enzymes, minerals, amino acids and polysaccharides that work in synergy to:
Calms inflammation
Aloe vera contains natural substances called acemannans, which help soothe the skin when it is irritated by the sun. These substances reduce inflammation caused by ultraviolet (UV) radiation, resulting in less redness, burning, and discomfort.
Promotes skin regeneration
Thanks to certain nutrients and plant hormones, aloe vera stimulates the activity of the cells responsible for regenerating the skin. This accelerates the healing process after a sunburn and helps the skin recover its natural appearance and structure sooner.
Moisturizes in depth
Aloe vera gel has great moisturizing power. When applied, it forms a light layer on the skin that helps retain water and prevent dryness. This is key after sunbathing, since sunburns tend to dehydrate the skin a lot.
Protects against possible infections
Sunburn can weaken the skin's natural barrier, making it more exposed to bacteria or fungi. Aloe vera has natural antimicrobial properties, which help keep the affected area clean and prevent infections while the skin recovers.
HOW TO USE ALOE VERA AFTER THE SUN?
The ideal is to do it on clean, dry skin, spreading it gently and allowing it to be completely absorbed. In cases of more intense burns, the application can be repeated several times a day to enhance its effects.
In addition, our products are formulated without parabens or artificial perfumes, which makes them suitable for sensitive and reactive skin, especially in moments of greater vulnerability such as after a sunburn.
Remember: a sunburn is a sign of cellular damage, and although the immediate effects can be alleviated with aloe vera, the ideal is to prevent it by using adequate photoprotection and avoiding exposure during the hours of maximum radiation.
At Atlantia, we extract the gel directly from the fresh leaves of aloe vera grown in the Canary Islands, without heat treatments that alter its properties. This guarantees an optimal concentration of biofunctional active ingredients. The quality of our aloe translates into a greater capacity for relief, recovery and protection of the skin after sun exposure.
