From the top of your head to the tip of your toes, sunburns can happen. These six products provide relief from whatever burn ails you.

Avene Antirougeurs Day Redness Relief Cream SPF 25, $37

This anti-redness cream is going to take you back to school—specifically art class. It’s in a light green tint because as you remember in class, green counteracts red. It also improves capillary health, all with UVA/UVB protection in case you come across any more sun.

Hampton Sun Hydrating Aloe Mist, $28

Menthol makes this spray ice cold, while vitamin E and aloe vera will heal and hydrate.

Korres Greek Yoghurt Cooling Gel, $26

Excellent for sunburnt faces, this gel helps instantly reduce redness and adds much needed relief with real greek yoghurt. For max cooling effect, keep it in the fridge. 

Philip Kingsley After Sun Scalp Mask, $29

Your scalp needs sunburn relief too, and this mask is highly cooling, moisturizing and calming with menthol, chamomile, and aloe. It works well for a year-round moisturizing mask, too.

Soleil Toujours Organic Aloe Antioxidant Calming Mist, $26

One of the best brands for luxe suncare, this aloe mist is no joke. Aloe is anti-inflammatory (a must after a burn), while green tea leaf and grape seed oil help by fighting free radicals and moisturizing.

Susanne Kaufmann After Sun Gel, $48

A refreshing and cooling gel for that achy red skin, this face and body gel is moisturizing and anti-inflammatory with plant extracts.
