Nachcremen

Nachcremen is a term used in Dutch and German skincare discourse to describe the act of applying cream again after the initial application. The word combines nach (after) with cremen (to cream) and denotes reapplication rather than a separate product. In practice, nachcremen refers to reapplying moisturizers, night creams, or sunscreen during a routine or while outdoors, to maintain hydration or continued protection.

Common contexts include reapplying a moisturizer after cleansing and during the day when the skin feels dry, reapplying night cream in overnight routines, and reapplying sunscreen every two hours of sun exposure or after sweating or swimming. In cosmetics marketing and consumer guidance, nachcremen is often presented as part of a regimen to maintain skin barrier function, hydration, and sun protection.

Practical guidance: apply a thin, even layer; let it absorb before applying another product if layering; with sunscreen, reapply a fresh layer rather than stacking thick amounts; for sensitive or reactive skin, choose fragrance-free products and avoid aggressive actives during reapplication; patch test new products and avoid mixing incompatible ingredients. In professional usage, the term is mostly descriptive rather than a product category.

Safety notes: overreliance on reapplication can lead to clogged pores or irritation if heavy products are used too frequently; tailor frequency to skin type, climate, and product ingredients. Overall, nachcremen is a routine practice aimed at sustaining moisture, protection, and skin comfort.
