From the team at Paradise Medical in Wailuku, Maui
Living on Maui means we get to enjoy some of the most beautiful weather and sunniest days in the world — but all that sunshine can take a toll on your skin. Whether you’re an adult soaking up rays or a parent with sun-kissed keiki, knowing how to care for your skin after sun exposure is essential.
At Paradise Medical in Wailuku, we’re all about natural, evidence-based skincare that works — so we’ve put together this post-sun skin care guide for both kids and adults, including home remedies and professional treatments to heal and hydrate your skin.
? Post-Sun Skincare at Home: Natural Remedies That Work
After a long day outdoors, your skin may be red, dry, or even starting to peel. Don’t panic — try these simple, skin-loving remedies to soothe and restore:
? Aloe Vera Gel (Fresh is Best!)
Aloe is naturally anti-inflammatory and cooling. If you have a plant at home, slice open a leaf and apply the gel directly to irritated or sunburnt skin. Store-bought aloe works too — just make sure it’s pure and fragrance-free.
? Chamomile Tea Compress
Brew a few strong chamomile tea bags, chill the tea in the fridge, and soak a soft cloth in it. Gently apply to affected areas. Chamomile calms inflammation and eases discomfort.
? Coconut Oil (Use Cautiously)
Once redness has subsided, coconut oil can lock in moisture and soften dry, flaky skin. Avoid using it on hot or freshly sunburned areas — wait until healing begins.
? Plain Greek Yogurt Mask
Yogurt contains probiotics and lactic acid that help calm the skin and reduce redness. Apply a thin layer to the skin, leave it on for 10 minutes, and rinse off with cool water.
? Oatmeal Bath for Kids (and Adults!)
Colloidal oatmeal soothes itching and inflammation. Add a cup to a cool bath and soak for 15–20 minutes. Great for kids with sensitive skin.
? Niacinamide Serum
Niacinamide (vitamin B3) helps rebuild the skin barrier, reduce inflammation, and improve hydration. Look for serums with 5% or more niacinamide for gentle post-sun repair.
? Zinc-Based Creams or Serums
Zinc is a skin hero for reducing redness and inflammation. It also supports wound healing and protects the skin barrier — ideal after a bit too much sun.
? Professional Skin Recovery at Paradise Medical – Wailuku, Maui
If your skin is feeling extra sensitive, rough, or sun-damaged, our natural skin treatments can help you recover and glow again.
? Laser Genesis (Cutera)
This non-invasive laser treatment calms redness, tightens pores, and improves overall skin tone. A favorite among Maui locals for post-sun refresh.
? PRP Microneedling
Using your body’s own platelet-rich plasma, this treatment stimulates collagen production and supports skin repair — perfect for skin that’s been overexposed to the elements.
? Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate — From the Inside Out
Sun exposure and salty air can leave your skin and body dehydrated. Don’t forget to drink plenty of water — and make it fun, especially for the kids!
? Bonus: Refreshing Spa Water Recipe
Encourage hydration with this simple fruit-infused recipe that’s as pretty as it is healthy.
Citrus-Cucumber Spa Water
- 1/2 orange, sliced
- 1/2 lemon, sliced
- 1/4 cucumber, sliced thin
- A few fresh mint leaves (optional)
- 1 quart cold filtered water
Let chill for 30+ minutes. Kids love the fun flavors, and it’s a skin-friendly way to boost hydration after a sunny day.
