In the “Why didn’t I think of that?” department…

One of my friends recently shared this brilliant tip that I’m about to share with you…

If you use aloe vera gel to soothe a sunburn, keep your bottle or tube of aloe in the refrigerator. The gel already feels soothing when you apply it, but refrigerated? It adds an extra level of cooling that feels great on overly-warm skin.

Signed, your friend who didn’t apply her own sunscreen often enough today.
