aftersun
Post-beach skin balm
Aftersun is a lotion or gel applied to skin after sun exposure, designed to soothe, cool, and moisturize.
It typically contains aloe vera or other ingredients meant to relieve the heat and tightness of sunburn: I forgot to pack aftersun and my shoulders are on fire.
Chiefly British.
