After Sun > Boots After Sun

Advantages: UVA 50 +
Disadvantages: bad odour, leaves your skin feeling oily.

last year i was going on holiday to spain, and needed a high uva protection sun lotion, with insect repellent, as im so used to getting bitten. I went to boots, and bought soltan with insect repellent, seeing as it was on offer, buy one get one free. It comes in a 200ml bottle, (orange) with a small spray on cap. Although it says water resistent over 3 times on the bottle, after reading the small print, it still says apply after contact with water. ...
...: *containing gentle, effective, odourless insect repellint, although after using this product, it did have a distinctive smell to it, which in fact, wasnt a pleasent smell.

I struggle every year to get a tan and this year has been no exception. With only weeks until my wedding I have been considering using a fake tan. However, I am so scared of it going wrong after hearing many horror stories so I decided to try something I else. I discover Soltan aftersun tan maximiser after burning my skin a couple of weeks ago.

Advantages: cooling and soothing aloe, nice smell
Disadvantages: slightly sticky before it absorbs properly

As aftersuns go, this is one of the better ones I have tried. I was impressed by the price too, at £6.99 for 400 ml (dont forget the buy one get one free at the moment) or £7.29 for 400 mls with insect repellant, it gives you plenty of product for a very reasonable price. I have always trusted the brand as they were the first to develop 5 star UVA protection, this is a company that takes sun protection seriously. It doesnt just moisturise the skin, ...
...cocoa butter and allantoin in it really soothe if your skin has been abused during the day. In a house full of prickly heat sufferers, one of the main bonuses is that it wont block up your pores so it wont cause prickly heat (caused when sweat becomes trapped under the skin when it cant escape through the pores), and having children it is reassuring to know it is dermatologically tested. Definitely worth a try! ... Read review
