You never plan for a sunburn; it always just happens. Don't suffer more than you need to. Pick up a tub of Clarins: SOS Sunburn Soother and keep it with your beach or pool supplies for emergency sunburn relief for the entire family.

First Things First - Prevent a Sunburn

Getting a sun burn is no fun at all. Many times, sunburn can be avoided if you take precautions. Here's what you need to know about the sun.

Follow These Steps to Reduce Your Chance Of Sunburn

  • Apply sunscreen about 20 minutes before sun exposure.
  • Use broad band coverage of at least SPF 15; higher if you have fair skin, freckles or burn easily.
  • Reapply every 2 hours at a minimum, more if you're in the water or sweating.
  • Wear a hat and sunglasses to protect areas that can not be protected with sunscreen.
  • Don't forget your lips. Use an SPF protected lip balm.
  • Remember that you can get a sunburn on cloudy days. Protect your skin every day.

How Clarins: SOS Sunburn Soother Can Help

Even if you take all necessary steps to stay safe in the sun, chances are good that you will get at least one sunburn this season. If you've ever had a sunburn, you know that painful and tight feeling you get for days after the burn. The problem with getting a sunburn is that you probably realized that you were burning all along, but couldn't leave the sun for whatever reason. Here's where Clarins: SOS Sunburn Soother comes into play.

This jar of SOS Sunburn Soother is a hydrating and protecting cream that comes full to the very rim full of the container. Ingredients include Mango and Shea Butter for natural hydration, Orange Blossom wax and Candeia tree bark extract to help reduce redness and peeling and lastly, Avocado to repair the sun-damaged skin.

The consistency of a this cream is reminiscent of a stick of butter. It truly melts at your body temperature and soaks into your skin immediately giving your hot sore skin some relief. Clarins compares it to a "bandage from the sun", and I don't think there is a better way of describing it.

Because of the gentle ingredients, this product is safe to use on adults and children alike. While getting out of the sun after burning is always your best option, this will help protect your skin if leaving isn't an option. With continued use, your skin will feel relief, peeling will be minimal or non-existent, and your skin will heal faster.

While avoiding a sunburn is always in your best interest, when one happens, this product will make those few days of misery easier to bear.
