In the summer most people are tempted to lay in the sun for hours on end in order to tan, but for me, I avoid being in the sun too long like the plague. As a fair girl, I burn very easily. I don’t even want to get tanned in the first place! But, sometimes on too-hot days I’m left with a painful burn, whether I wear sunscreen or not. I have 2 favorite products to help soothe sunburns that I thought I’d share with you today, and they’re both by Banana Boat, coincidentally!
Aloe After Sun Lotion: This lotion is great for those of you who hate the stickiness of aloe vera gel. This is definitely not as soothing as aloe gel, but an important part of treating a sunburn is providing moisture to prevent peeling, and this lotion does the trick!
Aloe After Sun Gel: Aloe gel is pretty much my go-to after getting a burn. It is a bit sticky but will cool and relieve a sunburn in seconds. I love this gel the most because it smells AMAZING. I actually need to pick up more of this, because I ran out a while ago! A fun idea for this is making aloe vera ice cubes, this will double the cooling effect!
I love how affordable these two are, so you can easily pick up both while going on a pre-beach sunscreen run. Your skin will thank you!
