There’s something about Mondays in the summer that have a lot of people doing a serious “skin care walk of shame.” You see it on the subway and the streets and in the office: Those super sunburned faces that are a dead giveaway that the outdoor weekend activities and weather were good, but the application of SPF wasn’t.
The reasons are always the same: “It didn’t work! I fell asleep on the beach! I missed a spot!” We’ve all been there.

Now the sunscreen police can step aside, because I think I’ve finally found a product that helps alleviate the shame, while saving your skin in the process.
Miami-born (aka, they know sun) Baiser Formula N°15 After Sun ($30) uses aloe vera, watermelon seed oil—if you aren’t familiar with the ingredient, it has a ton of fatty acids and hydrating properties—vitamin E and coconut essential oil to literally “cool down” skin. The yellowy oil is organic, vegan and made in small batches, and, as soon as you apply it delivers an instant glow and kind of “tones down” all the redness and leaves skin feeling really soothed and moisturized.
As a major bonus, the above includes EVERYTHING the four-ingredient formula contains and together they smell just as good as you might imagine.
