You cooled your skin down after the sun. But cooling and repairing are not the same thing.

A day in the sun leaves skin stressed underneath, even when it never looks burnt. The barrier is weakened and dark spots and dullness start to form.

What it needs is repair. Panthenol and niacinamide to calm and rebuild the barrier, antioxidants to neutralise free radicals, and alpha arbutin to keep pigment in check.

These are the two I use after a day in the sun.
