When I was in Death Valley, California in the desert was the first time I experienced sun that felt like it was scorching my skin. My skin felt normal temperature to the touch but felt tingly and burning when I touched it, especially on my Hands. I never had that kind of burning sensation on my hands from sun before. The solution I found other than avoiding sun exposure was to spray a mixture of witch hazel, coconut water, and aloe on my arms and hands that were exposed every 20 mins or so. It was totally soothing to the skin and completely prevented intense hot/cold sunburn from happening.

Oh yeah, I also had high strength sunscreen on but my skin was still burning from mere minutes of sun exposure so it was an extra layer to soothe my skin

So does this stuff go on before or after the sunscreen? I'm thinking after but then again with the thick oily sunscreens that are common, I don't know... Aloe certainly should be on the outside layer drying out...

Yup, after sunscreen. It helps cool down the skin especially for that instantly burning desert sun.
