AS MUCH AS WE LOVE BASKING IN THE WARM SUN, we could certainly do without the havoc it can wreak on our appearance, from sunburns and chafing to oily skin and nonstop sweat. To the rescue?

GOT A SUNBURN? SOOTHE IT WITH AN ALOE LOTION

We try our best to protect our body by slathering on SPF, but sometimes we miss a spot or don’t reapply as often as we should, leaving our skin scorched. What can help: tried-and-true aloe.

The downside? Most overthe-counter aloe gels contain unnecessary added ingredients. But aloe-infused lotions, like Sun Bum Cool Down Lotion (CVS.​com), calm sunburned skin and deeply moisturize it at the same time, speeding healing. Ahh!
