Dune The Lifeguard Miracle Aloe Rescue Gel ($23)
This Dune gel is a bestseller for more reasons than one. For starters, it has a weightless, nonsticky, non-pilling (!) formula that cools skin down upon contact. (Pro tip: keep it in the fridge before you apply it — it'll feel like a splash of cold water on skin.) And, since it's so lightweight, it can easily go under makeup and sunscreen, so you can keep skin happy no matter where you might be off to. What's more, aside from just cooling skin, it doubles as a daily moisturizer and provides intense 72-hour hydration, thanks to a mix of hydrating, antioxidant-rich ingredients. Last but not least, this gel will help you maintain a longer-lasting tan, which means you'll look the right amount of sunkissed for days. Yes, please.
Customer Review: "My husband has very pale skin and almost always leaves the beach with a sunburn. He loves having this to apply every evening after spending time in the sun and it has dramatically reduced the recovery time from too much sun exposure. The gel formula absorbs well and hydrates the skin to prevent discomfort and aid in healing."
