When I was in college, I distinctly remember one ill-advised trip to an outdoors activities fair which led to the worst sunburn I’d ever had in my entire life. My nose looked like it was falling off and my shoulders cried out in pain for the remotest of touch.
“Why don’t you put some aloe on that?” My friends winced at me.
Being a cheap Chinese lady, I didn’t want to head down to the drugstore and purchase some aloe. (I also didn’t want to face the wrath of the summer sun.) I decided to knock door to door, asking for aloe from my hall-mates. This was the first week of school so most of my hall-mates were mere strangers.
They were also apparently immune to sunburn. No one had any aloe for me. Defeated, I finally purchased my first bottle at the drugstore and since then, I am never without the healing remedy. After all, you never know when you might get burnt!
My interest peaked at hearing about Ola Hawai’i’s After Sun Healing Remedy.

I absolutely must have my Alba Botanica sunscreen in the summer. I like the lavendar scented one, and I also like the Hawaiian green tea scent. Both have around 45 SPF, and they smell really nice.
I have yet to find an aloe product that I really like, so I’d love for the chance to try this out.
