After Sun > Hawaiian Tropic After Sun

When FREE != GOOD

Advantages: Very few
Disadvantages: The smell, lack of insect repellant, bottle, "temperature"....need I go on?

...spray, I ended up with Hawaiian Tropic. First impressions? The product wins no points for its “proud to have on display” ability – the bottle features a rather cheap looking cartoon, and though there is gold detailing, it’s more Ali G than Princess Di. It screams “young and tacky” rather than “mature and sophisticated” and would probably be most suited to (pre-)teens than the adults among us. The pale green lotion comes in a squeezy bottle with ...
...flow (ignore the pic above – most versions of this come in a plop-plop container rather than a squirty-squirt one). However the stuff’s a bit sticky and when you near the end, it starts being reluctant to leave the bottle – in this instance it’s easiest to unscrew the lid, reach through the neck of the bottle and scoop it out with your fingers. It’s easily absorbed which is especially important for a product you’re most likely to use on a holiday ...

Review of Hawaiian Tropic Tropic After Sun Lotion

Banish the burn

Advantages: Soothes skin, moisturises and refreshes
Disadvantages: None really

...had with me my trusted Nivea After Sun Spray. Nivea is a well known brand that supplies many different products for many different skin types. If needing any assistance with these products nip into your local chemist and more often than not they'll be able to help you (well I'm very lucky to have this where I live) The Nivea After Sun Spray is fantastic because it's suitable for all skin types and leaves it feeling soft, smooth and completely refreshed ...
...and vitamin E that help to repair the skin and aloe vera to soothe it and relieve the burning. It also helps to continue to moisturize your skin and enhance your tan after you get back from holiday if you continue to use it for another two weeks. I find this more helpful than using moisturizer with the aloe vera and vitamins in it my tan has lasted longer than ever before. ~~Application~~ The fantastic thing about this product is the ease of application. ...

Review of Nivea After Sun Spray

Better of with Johnstons!

Advantages: nice packaging, smooth moisturiser
Disadvantages: expsensive, smelly, orange!

My mum treated me to this in the airport on our way on holiday. If you have read any of my reviews you will know I love my fake tan!! Unfortunatly I am not a huge fan of the sun and after a short while sun bathing I tend to prefer the shade, so this seemed perfect becuase it's aftersun and it has a slight tanning agent in it. When I was younger I used to take Johnstons holiday skin and use that as an after sun moisturiser while topping up my tan! ...
...activating it's not so nice. It didn't really have much of a cooling aftersun effect and to be honest was more really like a moisturiser than anything else. I was really disappointed in the colour, it made me quite orange. For the price, it's not worth it. In my opnion this a glorified version on Johnston Holiday Skin except the price is higher! If your willing to spend this for fake tan... get yourself some fake bake! ...

Review of Clarins After Sun Moisturiser with Self Tanning Action

Amazing

Advantages: Refreshing feel, ease of use
Disadvantages: None!

I first bought this gel when my doctor changed some of my medication which resulted in rather sudden and severe acne. I needed a moisturiser that would not aggravate it and would even help it get better; after researching on the internet I decided on this. I got it on eBay for a few pounds. At first I applied too much but it was fairly easy to wipe off the excess and rub the correct amount in. It did not irritate my poorly skin and even helped it ...
...I got badly sunburnt and needed something to cool and refresh my skin as well as help it heal, I simply coated my skin in this and let it sit on top for a few hours. Bliss. I now use it daily as a moisturiser as I believe that natural ingredients are best when it comes to cosmetics, plus it's fantastic as I have oily/combination skin and it mattifies very well without drying. It works incredibly well as a makeup remover too, simply generously coat ...

Review of Banana Boat Aloe Vera Gel

After sun and bath...

Advantages: Moisturising
Disadvantages: None

Hawaiian tropic complete care after sun after bath I tend to buy a lot of the Hawaiian tropic products when we go abroad because i like the smell and they remind me of holidays spent in the sunshine. I had never tried this one before but decided it was worth a go because I have never had any problems with the products before. WHAT DOES IT DO? Since this doesn't just market itself as an after sun, but rather as complete body care, i am expecting ...
...small price MADE BY... Hawaiian Tropic Inc The website www.htropic.com has lots of informatioon about the products and looking after your skin in the sun VERDICT This aftersun has a lovely soothing feeling when applied after a shower when i have spent time in the sun. It is easily absorbed by my skin and leaves no sticky residue. Although it doesn't smell like the sun oils which I am so fond of, I do like the smell, and because it is so easy ...
