"  Back in April, Kim Kardashian posted this now infamous photo of herself on her Twitter page after she fell asleep in the sun while on vacation in Mexico.   Ouch, right?  We&amp;#039;ve all been there\u2014including yours truly. Yes,  Miss Practice Safe Sun herself (that would be me) has had her fair share of cringe-worthy burns. And while it&amp;#039;s been a long time since I&amp;#039;ve spent the day outside without slathering my entire face and body with SPF 30 (at least), I&amp;#039;m still guilty of overdoing it in the sun. Case in point: I came back from my Fourth of July trip to Cape Cod way more tan than I should&amp;#039;ve been. I used to get excited when someone would comment on how dark my skin looked, but these days a real tan (as opposed to the kind you get from a bottle) is not something to be proud of, since it essentially means that your skin is unhealthy. Which brings me to my new obsession with after sun products. These lotions not only feel cool and refreshing on your skin after a day at the beach, but they also help repair it (most contain aloe since it&amp;#039;s an effective healer). My current favorite is  H20 Plus After Sun Body Serum, an ultra-light, oil-free formula that has anti-oxidants, vitamins, and marine extracts to seal in moisture, reduce redness, and protect skin from future environmental damage. It&amp;#039;s also a great as a daily body moisturizer on those days when it&amp;#039;s so freaking hot outside that using your regular body cream would be like wearing a sweater.   If you really fried your skin like our lobster-faced friend Kim Kardashian, you need to do some more serious damage control including applying sunscreen like crazy, using a retinol cream, going for a chemical peel, and spot-checking your skin. Here are more tips on how to keep your skin healthy this summer. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
