We polled dermatologists to find the best after-sun lotions that they love and recommend ahead of the summer. These picks calm sunburn and soothe irritated skin.
Avoid peeling and irritated skin this summer. The best after-sun lotions are a summer staple. Applying sunscreen is a non-negotiable when it comes to protecting your skin against the sun’s harmful UV rays, but it’s not the only skincare product to have on hand this summer. In addition to your favourite SPF, dermatologists recommend the best after-sun lotions to help hydrate your skin from sun damage, an overlooked part of sun care.
“When using after sun lotion, it’s essential to stay out of the sun to avoid further UV damage and irritation to the skin,” Dr. Green says. “For maximum protection, wear a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 50 in addition to after sun lotion.” These extra precautions can help prevent sun spots, redness, inflammation, dryness, and swelling from sun exposure.
