5 Soothing After Suns

After sun is an essential beauty bag staple whether you're summering at home or away. We've already shared our natural sunburn remedies, but a shop-bought cream can often be your best bet.

Even if you've managed to avoid getting so sunburned you look more like a lobster than an actual human woman, slapping on a bit of lotion will keep your skin hydrated and silky smooth after a day in the sun.

We all know that keeping your skin protected when out in the sun is an absolute must, and after sun lotions can help stop skin from peeling, lock in moisture and help ease painful sunburn.
