Selected products are also sold on Amazon, including by third-party sellers. Check the seller, the exact product name, the size, the ingredient list, and the shipping cost.
Shop Aruba Aloe on AmazonWhat After-Sun Lotion Does
After-sun lotion moisturizes skin after sun, wind, salt water, and time outside. It does not reverse sun damage, replace sunscreen, or treat a serious burn.
| After-sun lotion | Aloe vera gel |
|---|---|
| Usually creamier | Usually lighter |
| Often includes moisturizing oils | Often a water-based texture |
| Useful on dry skin | Useful when you want a lighter feel |
After a beach day
- Rinse off salt, sand, and sunscreen in a cool or lukewarm shower.
- Pat dry instead of rubbing irritated skin.
- Apply an Aruba Aloe lotion or gel according to the label.
- Drink water, and stay out of more intense sun if your skin feels irritated.
- The next day, use sunscreen, shade, a hat, and clothing. See the reef-safe sunscreen guide for the oxybenzone rule.
An after-sun product without an SPF rating is not your sun protection. Check the ingredients of any Aruba Aloe sunscreen, because formulas differ. Aruba prohibits sunscreens that contain oxybenzone.
