The summer months guarantee a few things: school will be out, people will be traveling, you will need to invest in a good pair of shades and you will probably get too much sun. Even if it’s just one day of overexposure, that’s one day too many. And when that happens, it burns, baby, it burns! When skin is already sensitive to the touch, an aloe-infused spray can serve as the no-rubbing-required relief you need. Whether skin is just a little warm feeling or is red as a rose, this easy DIY sunburn relief recipe will guarantee a smooth – and gently soothed – summer.
