Photographed by Mario Testino, Vogue, June 2007

With another warm-weather weekend in the rearview, your skin may be feeling the effects of the summer sun. Despite your best protective efforts, a day spent tarrying around an open-air tennis court, sailing on the high seas, or lounging by the pool can easily leave arms, legs, and collarbones feeling parched or (worse)  burned. Forget the aloe: This year, a selection of rich, hydrating salves is doing more than ever to return skin to its healthy state.

SkinCeuticals’s Hydra Balm is a cult classic that was originally intended for post-operative treatment, relying on a formula made from petrolatum and squalene that creates a regenerative protective barrier over the area and is especially soothing when stored in the refrigerator. For a layer of natural nourishment, Kahina’s rich blend of argan, calendula, carrot seed, olive, and coconut oils coaxes skin back to normalcy—leaving a trace of warm, Marrakesh-inspired scent behind. Made for surfers, EiR NYC’s Balancing Butter is ideal for temperature trauma, coating hands and face with ylang ylang, shea butter, and Vitamin E. Here, five miracle solutions for renewing your sun-sapped skin.
