As skin can be severely compromised post sun exposure, avoid harsh exfoliants completely for a while, especially till the redness or inflammation persists. Then opt for a gentle exfoliant, like this Dermalogica Daily Microfoliant Exfoliant, a rice-based powder formula that activates upon contact with water. It releases papain, salicylic acid, and rice enzymes that polish skin to perfection. Plus, its white tea and liquorice extracts help brighten skin tone while its anti-inflammatory mix of colloidal oatmeal and allantoin helps soothe skin.
