The usual advice for summer is to stock up on sunblock and other products with high SPF to protect our skin. But sun care doesn’t stop when you step out of the door. You also need to tend to your skin after being exposed to the sun.
We all know that damaged skin and sunburns are common this season. To prevent this from happening, you’re going to need after sun products at your disposal. Shop our list below if you haven’t bought any yet.
Sun Bum Cool Down
This lotion is formulated with aloe, cocoa butter, and jojoba oil to help moisturize and soothe sunburned skin. It also helps cure windburns, chafing, itchiness, skin peeling, and dry skin. Aside from its benefits, the best part is that it smells like coconuts! Available on Parasol Y Mar.
Belo SunExpert After Sun Gel
Belo’s after sun gel promises to relieve UV-damaged skin as well as sunburns and inflammation. It also restores the skin’s natural moisture. You just need to massage this onto your body and face after spending time under the sun. Available at Watsons.

If you don’t want the hassle of seeing white lotion residue on your skin, go for an after sun spray. This one from Nivea is quick-absorbing and leaves a soothing feeling on the skin. Available at SM Beauty.
Edible Beauty & Heal Me Soothing Balm
Aside from aloe vera, this balm is infused with chamomile and white tea to help in soothing any inflammation. It also has a cranberry and cucumber scent that “energizes the senses.” Available on Sephora PH.
Dermalogica After Sun Repair
