Soothing Post-Sun Lotion
Mariane
Even though I always protect myself when I do outdoor activities, I tend to be lazy on my city outings. My quick errands turn into a melting ice cream on a park bench and, inevitably, a sunburn.
As a great connoisseur, then, here is my favorite soothing after-sun lotion recipe!

Friendly reminder
In spring, we're often excited by the arrival of the first rays and forget to protect ourselves. We must never lose sight of the fact that it's the time of year when the sun is strongest and most dangerous.
Even when we protect ourselves, we sometimes burn. The skin is more sensitive and less used to being bombarded by UV after spending months under our clothes, and it hasn't yet had time to build its natural defense.
Happy summer, everyone!
