Google searches for sunburn have increased consistently from the 12th June, peaking on the 19th - suggesting many people have been overdoing their sun exposure during the current heatwave.
Luckily, there's one product you need to check out if you have overdone it in the sun.
Helen Ambrosen, Lush co-founder, said: “We make an infusion of oats and water that creates a very thin ‘porridge', which enables us to get the best out of the oats and onto the skin. The olive oil in the product is also lovely - it's a surface emollient that keeps the skin soft and from losing moisture. Oat milk is the magic!"
Oat-infused, bestselling Dream Cream has been a staple product in Lush fans’ bathrooms since its launch in 1998 - it now has over 1,000 5* reviews on the Lush website, with customers praising “how well it worked on my skin when I got sunburned, it calmed the redness and soothed the dryness” (Nix) and “I use this cream after being in the sun and it's fabulous! It calms any red patches/slight sunburn and leaves the skin calmed” (Lkd12).

If your skin is in need of some serious TLC after the heatwave, then Dream Cream is one product you should add to your collection.
This bestselling body lotion will gently nurse your skin back to health. Made with every calming ingredient we could get our hands on, this oat milk, chamomile, and lavender body cream may just be Lush's worst-kept secret for sore and sensitive skin.
An effective alternative to heavy creams available for treating dryness, a light emulsion delivers care and hydration without the stickiness, and it’s developed a cult following since Lush invented it in 1996.
