11 After-Sun Care Products That Will Soothe and Hydrate Sunburned Skin

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

So you got a sunburn? OK, not ideal, but don't freak out. Nothing soothes sun-scorched skin like after-sun care products. Between their soothing, cooling effects (thanks to ingredients like aloe and cucumber extract) and hydrating effects (à la moisturising oils), there isn't any reason you shouldn't slather your entire body in the stuff after a long day at the beach.

After-sun care comes in the form of lightweight gels, spray-on lotions, and even fizzing mousses. Check out our favourite ones ahead.
