The Vaccinator Posts: 3810 Location: Slipping down the slope of old age. Boo hoo.	I use the Equate lotion from Walmart, but any waterproof lotion at high SPF will work. And, yes, Aloe is okay to use. Since I bring my horses in during the day to avoid sunburn, usually put it on in the evenings when they go out ~ 5 p.m.. If out all day they would need an application morning and probably again at noon -- most sunscreens recommend reapplying every couple of hours. I have also used fly masks that have the long nose cover and they have worked well.

Expert Posts: 2457	Baby butt cream (desitin) - slather it on, the zinc is the active ingredient (in sun screen too) that will prevent further sunburn while the rest of the cream will heal the blisters and burned skin. We buy the cheapest off brand stuff and use it liberally on noses in the summers.

Elite Veteran Posts: 883 Location: Southern Indiana	I have some Coppertone face spf 50 sunscreen I didn't like. I slather it on their nose and it works just fine. I don't see why you couldn't put aloe or vinegar on it.
