After coming back from Palm Springs just last week, it’s been good to be home but I’m of course missing vacation! I always make sure to keep my skin protected from the sun–especially when at the pool or in direct sunlight for an extended period of time. But unfortunately I slipped up found myself with a bit of a sunburn even after my SPF 50.
Since I was traveling I didn’t have some of my post-sun exposure favorites with me but thankfully stopped at the local Walgreens to get a few of my tried and true after sun skin care products for when I’ve gotten a bit too much sun!
AFTER SUN SKIN CARE PRODUCTS
SIMPLE MICELLAR WIPES
I love makeup removing and facial cleansing wipes so much! They are so easy and such an essential in my everyday routine. I picked up another pack of these Simple Micellar Wipes since I was running low in my ‘travel size’–meaning I don’t finish the pack at home, I’ll purposely put it aside when it gets down to about five remaining wipes and use that pack for travel. After the sun, I use these to remove makeup, sunscreen residue, etc. These even feel great down your neck and arms too for a cooling sensation against hot skin. The micellar solution is really effective for removing dirt and oil so they are amazing for on the go.
VASELINE INTENSIVE CARE COCOA RADIANT LOTION
After too much sun exposure, my skin wants as much moisture as possible! I like this rich Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion because it feels rich on my skin but not greasy afterwards. The cocoa butter scent will always keep me in a vacation state of mind too–it’s one of those scents that reminds me of various trips and enjoying days off! I’ll slather on a generous amount of this lotion to hydrate my skin after the micellar wipes and let it sink in to replace moisture. Such a good scent!
POND’S DRY SKIN CREAM CARING CLASSIC
POND’S is such an iconic and classic skin care brand! My forehead takes the brunt of my sunburns so I always like to apply moisturizers that are very hydrating and creamy to get my skin repair underway. I previously had tried a sample size of this POND’S Dry Skin Cream and loved how rich it felt on my skin. This is rich enough to act as a repairing balm or overnight cream for mega hydration while you sleep. I even like to apply this on my elbows, knees, anywhere that needs that extra big boost of moisture.
It’s always important to wear SPF this spring and summer but when sunburns happen, these after sun skin care lotions help me recover and soothe. From April 15-21, you can pick these favorites up and others from POND’s, Simple, and Vaseline with a buy 2 get 2,000 points deal at Walgreens! And so glad I was able to pop into a location while traveling!
![Impatiently waiting for this little guy to arrive! Our bedroom bassinet area is sorted and we are ready for cozy moments in this corner with baby boy wrapped up in this cute Little Star Organics bedding we picked up at @walmart. We are holding off on getting a crib for a couple months since he will be in his bassinet but once we do this organic baby bedding is ready and waiting—under $50 for a 3-piece set! Until then these cute prints will be perfect for feeding cuddles, keeping us both warm! 💙 [ad] #walmartbaby http://liketk.it/2HTCa #liketkit @liketoknow.it Follow me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it shopping app to get the product details for this look and others](https://www.justaddglam.com/wp-content/plugins/instagram-feed/img/placeholder.png)

These sound like some great skin care products, not only for removing makeup, but for after sun exposure care. I’d be interested in Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion.
I for one am guilty of getting too much sun in the summer months. I’ve tried several skin care products that boast that they’re effective for post-sun care, but they wind up not delivering. I’ll have to give these a look.
I love Ponds. It’s such great stuff. It really is proof that you don’t have to drop a ton of money on skin care products.
I bake in the sun all summer long. I need good after-care products to make sure my skin stays hydrated.
If Pond’s can make my skin look as good as yours I am ready to get it now. I am glad the warm weather is hinting to come out here and I definitely need the SPF 50 to protect and moisterizers for after any sun exposure.
These sound like some great products! I a absolutely LOVE they are from the drugstore as hey who doesn’t love getting things on a budget.
I need to head over to my local Walgreens to pick these up! The weather is getting warmer and I am already getting unwanted sunburn.
I’m loving those sunnies and your style! I haven’t tried this brand yet, but will have to check it out!
I need to head over to my local Walgreens to buy some! Spring is here.The weather is getting warmer and I am already feeling it!
I love my local Walgreen’s for everything from beauty products to sweet treats. Got to stock up on post sun products so I’m ready for all of our beach days.
Pond’s products are my skin’s favorite! This is such a great deal! Love your beautiful photos!
I remember Pond’s skin care when I was growing up. Your photos look beautiful girl! Looks like a great product!
It seems like the Vaseline Intensive Care Cocoa Radiant Lotion will have a great scent!
I have always been a fan of Ponds! So soft! I am loooving those sunnies, girl. I must check those out stat!
Lots of good information for a women who is beauty product impaired! Thanks!
I burn very easily, the Pond’s cream helps cool the sting.
Vasoline and Ponds are classic skin care items,a must have for everyone.
My mom swears by Ponds! I want to try it.
I did not know that Pond’s had a day cream. I love the daily cream remover but will be looking for this product.
Good to know. I hate how my sin looks when it peels
Thanks for the advice
PONDS IS NOSTALGIC FORMULa i still use today.
Ponds has been around forever, what a great brand! This definitely sounds like a great product, thanks for sharing! 🙂
It’s always a very good idea to take good care of your skin. Sun damage can wreak havoc on such a beautiful woman, like that model.
I am always on the hunt for great skincare, so thank you so so much for taking the time to write this post!! Also I love love love your shirt!
I love cruising the CVS skincare area! And now I want icecream! Great pics! Thanks!
With summer approaching, we all need to take better care of our hair and skin
I stay out of the sun these days… But still lather on the sunscreen… My kids love the beach!! So they definitely need after Sun products! Thanks again. And I love your hair.
I’ve used a few of those. They work well for the cost. Thanks for sharing.
What kind of ice cream is that & is it too part of your skin routine ? 😉
I really like Ponds products. It is very important to take care of our skin.
I have to say I am surprised by these products. Over the years I had used them and moved on to other products. Maybe it is pass time for me to back up and check out the old products. Since they still are around they must be doing something very right.
Its a pity we dont really get good drugstores in eastern Europe 🙂
I will have to try Ponds. I have been using Jergens Cocoa Butter but obviously I can not use it on my face.
The Vaseline cream is lovely x
