Afternoon beauty fix: Salvage cottage-burned skin fast!

Though I had fun doing it, I got burned at the cottage this weekend and need to cover the red without further irritation. Help!

Most importantly, you need a product that is gentle on sensitive skin and will protect you from further UV damage. Avène Couvrance Compact Foundation Cream ($31 at drug stores) has SPF 30, is gentle and preservative free, but will also make sure your red nose goes unnoticed thanks to a pigment percentage of over 40%.
