Seems like it happens to me every year: As soon as my skin is treated to its first taste of summer sun, it responds by turning lobster red. Yes, folks, I’ve done it again…despite my best sun protection efforts, I have a sunburn! (Perhaps I should stop using store-brand sunblock, hmm?) Fortunately, the burn is not severe, and it’s totally localized in the shoulders/upper back area - but what I really want to talk about (besides the undeniable importance of prevention) is treatment. So far, my burn is actually doing quite well - no peeling, and the pain has passed. To what do I owe this speedy recovery? I’m giving credit to this Lily of the Desert Aloe Vera Gelly. It’s free from artificial colors and fragrances, and it goes on smooth, clear and non-sticky. Soothing and moisturizing…just what my poor shoulders need right now. Grab yourself a tube if your sunblock fails you this summer!
