Long days in the sun are one of the best parts of summer — but UV rays, heat, and salt water can take a toll on your skin. Whether you’re coming back from holiday, the garden, or a long walk, your skin deserves a little extra care.

At Soothing Suds, we specialise in natural, handmade skincare that helps replenish, soothe, and protect your skin after sun exposure. Here are our best tips and products to help you recover and glow:

1️⃣ Hydrate Inside and Out

After time in the sun, your body loses moisture faster.

• Drink plenty of water to rehydrate.

• Use a rich moisturiser to lock hydration back into the skin.

Tip: Our Scented Shea Body Butter is packed with shea butter, coconut oil and almond oil to help restore softness and calm irritation.

2️⃣ Cleanse Gently

Avoid harsh soaps that strip your skin further.

• Choose a mild cleanser that respects your skin barrier.

• Wash off sweat, salt, and sunscreen without over-drying.

Try: Our Whipped Soap — creamy, fluffy and enriched with natural oils.

3️⃣ Soothe and Cool

If you feel tightness or mild redness:

• Apply a cool damp cloth to your skin.

• Follow with a calming lotion or body butter.

Pro Tip: Store your Soothing Suds body butter in the fridge for an extra cooling effect.

4️⃣ Avoid Peeling and Over-Exfoliation

It’s tempting to scrub away peeling skin, but this can cause irritation.

• Let any peeling happen naturally.

• Gently exfoliate after the skin has recovered (3–5 days later).

5️⃣ Keep Moisturising Daily

Consistency is key. A daily routine of cleansing, hydrating and protecting will help your skin bounce back faster and look its best all summer.
