Even when protected, skin can turn red under strong sunlight. Redness, burning, and tightness: time for relief. Discover our tips and natural treatments to repair your skin after sunburn.

Cool Without Aggression

At the first signs of sunburn, the priority is to lower the skin’s temperature. Avoid ice cubes, which can damage the capillaries: instead, opt for a thermal mist, a lukewarm water compress or a cool (not cold) shower. This step instantly soothes burning sensations and prepares the skin to receive care.

Focus on Soothing, Continuous Hydration

After sunburn, the skin becomes massively dehydrated. It needs both water and lipids to restore its barrier function. Favour treatments rich in natural anti-inflammatory actives (such as arnica or edelweiss), antioxidants (vitamin E, gentian) and repairing ingredients (calendula, shea butter).


Pure Altitude tip: generously apply a gel-cream or balm texture to slightly damp skin to maximise absorption. Reapply 2 to 3 times a day for 48 hours.

The SOS Reflex: Our Baume des Montagnes

When the skin is in distress, we bring out our secret weapon: the Baume SOS des Montagnes. Enriched with soothing arnica, protective edelweiss and repairing plant oils, this treatment acts like a natural bandage. Its balm texture melts on contact with the skin, leaving a repairing veil without a greasy or occlusive finish. It immediately soothes, deeply nourishes and accelerates skin regeneration.


Apply generously to reddened areas, as well as to all the little summer emergencies (overheating, bites, irritated areas after waxing...).
