Summer is all about sun-kissed skin, beach waves, and that effortless glow. But let’s be real—summer can also mean sunburns, breakouts, and frizzy hair. That’s why you need the right products to keep your skin and hair happy all season long. Here are five must-haves to get you through the summer, from head to toe.
1. Burt's Bees After Sun Lotion
Soothing Sunburn Relief
Burt's Bees After Sun Lotion is your best friend after a long day in the sun. Made with hydrating aloe vera and coconut oil, this lotion provides instant relief to sunburned skin while nourishing it deeply. The non-greasy formula absorbs quickly, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and calm. With 98.9% natural ingredients, it’s free from parabens, phthalates, and petrolatum—making it gentle enough for even the most sensitive skin.
Why do people love it? The lotion is praised for its effectiveness in soothing sunburns and dry skin. Customers rave about how quickly it absorbs and how long the soothing effect lasts. Plus, the natural ingredients give it an edge over other after-sun products that contain harsher chemicals.
Usage Tip: Apply generously to sun-exposed skin, especially after a shower, to lock in moisture and soothe any irritation.
2. Vacation Classic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50
Ultimate Sun Protection
Vacation Classic Sunscreen Lotion SPF 50 isn’t just sunscreen—it’s a vacation in a bottle. This vegan, cruelty-free sunscreen offers broad-spectrum SPF 50 protection and is water-resistant for up to 80 minutes, making it perfect for long days at the beach. The best part? It’s known as the "World’s Best Smelling Sunscreen" thanks to its unique blend of coconut, banana, and pool water scents.
But it’s not just about the fragrance. The lightweight, non-sticky formula rubs in quickly without leaving a white cast, making it suitable for all skin tones. It’s also free from harmful chemicals like octinoxate, PEG, and parabens, and is compliant with Hawaii’s reef-safe regulations, so you can protect your skin without harming the environment.
