Check out these great finds to use after a hot day at the beach:

Aloe Vera is the most basic but important necessity if you’re planning to spend time in the sun.

Avon Foot Works Cherry Ice Cooling Foot Spray – $5

You should wear sunscreen on the bottoms of your feet, but even that won’t necessarily protect you from sun-scorched sand that can heat them as you walk to the ocean. This delicious-smelling foot spray from Avon is just $5 and will relieve your feet if they are feeling fire-y. {AVON}

Mission Products After-sun Ultra Soothing Revive Gel – $9.99 for 3 oz.

This product is designed to be especially effective for athletes battling sunburn, windburn or skin irritation from being exposed to extreme weather on a consistent basis, though it is effective for summer beach-goers as well.
