after-sun lotion

Post-beach skin balm

After-sun lotion is a moisturizing product applied to skin after sun exposure, designed to soothe, hydrate, and help repair damage from UV rays.

It typically contains aloe vera or other cooling ingredients: I forgot the after-sun lotion and my shoulders are burning.

Unlike sunscreen, which prevents damage, after-sun treats skin that's already been exposed.
