SUNDANCE

After Sun Gesichtsmaske

An after-sun mask rather than a general one, from dm's own sun-care line, and the cheapest thing in the catalogue per application. Panthenol, tocopheryl acetate, sodium hyaluronate, aloe powder and bisabolol are the soothing side. Alcohol is third, though - on skin that has just been in the sun that is a choice worth knowing about, and the last seven entries are perfume components including juniper oil.

What stands out in the list

Worked out from the ingredients, not the packaging claims.

  • Contains fragrance

    Listed as Parfum/Fragrance, which can stand for dozens of undisclosed aroma chemicals. Fragrance is one of the most common causes of cosmetic contact allergy.

  • 3 declared fragrance allergens

    EU law requires these to be named on the pack: Linalool, Hexyl Cinnamal, Tetramethyl Acetyloctahydronaphthalenes.

  • 1 essential oil

    Naturally derived, and a frequent trigger for reactive skin: Juniperus Virginiana Oil.

  • Drying alcohol, high in the list

    Alcohol appears at position 3, so it is a major part of the formula. Expect a fast, matte finish and possible tightness on dry or reactive skin.

  • Exfoliating acids

    Contains Lactic Acid. Use sunscreen the following day; EU law caps these.

  • Nothing flagged for pregnancy

    No ingredient on this list is one our encyclopaedia marks as avoided or used with caution in pregnancy. That is not the same as a clearance, so check with your midwife or doctor.

  • Barrier-supporting actives

    Contains Panthenol, Allantoin, ingredients with reasonable evidence for calming and supporting the skin barrier.

How to use it

After sun exposure, spread generously and evenly over cleansed skin on the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding the eyes, mouth and lips. Leave 10 to 15 minutes, then take off the residue with a tissue or massage it in - do not rinse. Use once or twice a week as needed.
