1. A Burt's Bees after-sun soother because getting sunburned is a a motherf*cker and the aftermath ain't any better. Smear this shit on your face or body after a day at the beach and watch the aloe and coconut oil work their magic on your sunburned body. Plus, reviewers dig it'cause it's non-greasy and absorbs fast into the skin.
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
Promising review: "I'm so fcking annoying, I know. But whenever someone I know catches a sunburn, I become that super annoying product-pusher friend. I tell everyone about the sun soother! Seriously, Burt's Bees should pay me. Shit rubs into the skin like lotion so you don't feel greasy and you can put clothes on immediately after application. Little goes a long way! Smells good without being overpowering (and I'm picky about scents!). Most importantly, it works! I've had everything from slight burn to looks-like-a-lobster-feels-like-fire and this sun soother has eliminated the pain/itch and drastically reduced the eventual peel. Even if it does peel later on, it's minimal compared to what it would be and look like if I had not used this sun soother. I don't burn easily and I love this product; my husband is as pale as they come and it's his favorite sunburn solution as well. Highly recommend!" -Jessie Patterson*

"Found this product on TikTok and I had to give it a try. Tried the day lip plumper and within a few seconds, there was a subtle tingling/burning that lasted for a few minutes but as it occurred, the plumping started to happen! Fckin' noticeable difference and made my lips look like I had filler! I'm obsessed!! -Amazon Customer*
