Protect and heal your skin year-round with Aloe-First sun care.
What Are the Best Sunscreen and Sun Care Products?
The best sun care products are good for you AND good for the environment. To make sure you have fun outside without damaging your skin, it’s important to learn what’s inside the products you apply to your skin.
Summer Sun Care Tips
First and foremost, make sure your sunscreen is a healthy choice. That means your sun care products will protect and nourish your skin throughout the summer and all year long!
Read the Ingredients
Choose a sunscreen that uses simple, proven natural ingredients, like zinc oxide and Aloe. For example, did you know that we use 19% zinc oxide, and that Aloe is one of the first ingredients in our Natural Broad Spectrum Sunscreen SPF 30? Additionally, it has a fresh citrusy scent!
Read the Directions and Apply Frequently
Even “waterproof” or “water-resistant” sunscreens need to be reapplied every 2 hours to be most effective. Apply your sunscreen early and often for the best protection from the sun.
Protect Your Lips from the Sun!
We recommend a protective lip balm with SPF for the best coverage for healthy lips. Use it alone or with your favorite lip colors. L’BRI Lip Protection SPF 30 is a must for keeping lips soft and protected.
Cover Up to Avoid the Midday Sun
If you really want a sun-kissed glow, avoid the sun and try Sunless Glow Tanning Lotion for a healthy look that won’t damage your skin! Find a cute, wide-brimmed hat and cover-up and take them everywhere!
What Should I Do About a Sunburn?
When you’re having fun in the sun it’s easy to forget to re-apply your sunscreen. If that happens, use a high-quality pure Aloe gel to soothe irritated or painful sunburned skin. In this case, we highly recommend our Aloe Vera Barbadensis Jelly because not only is it the best solution for sunburn, but it can be used on cuts, scrapes, burns, and insect bites too!
BONUS TIP: Don’t forget to moisturize! After a day outdoors, make sure you and your skin stay hydrated. Drink plenty of water and use an all-over moisturizer like our Daily Moisturizing Hand & Body Lotion. It contains aloe as the first ingredient and comes in a variety of yummy scents. It’s available in a fragrance-free option too!
For everyday protection from the sun, we recommend a gentle moisturizer with aloe and SPF, like our Oil-Free Moisturizer with SPF 32. It’s specially formulated for everyday use and can be gently applied with dry fingertips. For a cool, refreshing aloe-first burst, try our Hydrating Antioxidant Face Mist. It feels great on sunburn too!
