Remember those freezing cold days not that long ago when we all yearned for some sun? Yeah, neither do we. With temps at peak sizzle, your skin may already be feeling dry as a desert. But maybe it’s time to take a cue from something that actually thrives in an arid atmosphere: Cactus. Yes, we’re all familiar with the many hydrating and healing benefits of aloe, but there’s also cactus water and prickly pear extract to offer scorched skin some major moisture-boosting relief. Find it in the soothing and hydrating beauty products below.
