In her viral video, Nicaela (@nicaelahimes) showed her followers her go-to beauty buy for the sunny weather.
She explained that her friend recommended the item after she suffered a bad sunburn at an air show.
The TikToker wasted no time picking up the $5 Noxzema Facial Cleanser Cream from her local Walmart.
Nicaela said the lotion worked “super well” on the burns on her chest, arms, and face, showing results overnight.
She showed her audience before and after pictures of her burns as well as the peeling on her face.
While the product is designed for facial cleansing, Nicaela praised its ability to treat sunburns.
She advised her viewers to opt for the cream with eucalyptus extract.
“I don’t know the science behind it, I think it’s the mixture of the eucalyptus and I think it has menthol in it,” she said.
Nicaela explained that the handy budget-friendly product can be found “anywhere.”
“With summer coming and the sun getting bad, get this and keep it in your bathroom,” she recommended.
She also added that she applied castor oil to her face along with the cream to tackle the peeling.
Nicaela referenced the oil’s anti-inflammatory properties when suggesting the extra step.
Skincare experts at Green Matters broke down the similar qualities present in eucalyptus extract.
“Eucalyptus is a great essential cooling oil to heal skin and cool burns,” the professionals explained.
“This oil has anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving properties that alleviate sunburn quickly.
