Cover Me In Cream

Advantages: Fresh fragrance, soothing, easily absorbed, non-greasy, good value for money
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I did indeed find it. Nivea Sun Sensitive After Sun Lotion, claiming to cool and soothe. During the evening I smothered hubby and myself a number of times, and the relief it brought was enormously comforting. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ So, about this Nivea Sun Sensitive After Sun Lotion stuff? Well, mine is a 200ml bottle. The appearance of said bottle is a little plain, but I do often feel costs are kept down by keeping fancy packaging ...
...bottle is white, sporting the Nivea logo, and some deep blue writing. The screw cap is pale blue. The lotion itself is a very pale yellow, and the consistency I'd say somewhere between double cream and salad cream - nicely fluid, but not runny to an extreme. The smell is quite fruity, best described as a light citrus aroma to my mind, which is a pleasant change to the often floral or generally ‘cosmetic’ smells of similar products. The ...

Review of Nivea After Sun Lotion Sensitive

Soltan With insect repellent.

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. It also left my skin feeling sticky, and oily. So maybe you shouldnt go for the product on offer, check the small prints on the bottles before you buy. Who knows what you will find out. ...

Review of Boots Soltan After Sun Lotion with Insect Repellent

bargain after sun

Advantages: cheap, effective
Disadvantages: plain packaging may put some people off

...care section, and he chose Asda Smart Price after sun lotion as it was the cheapest one there. To be honest, I wasn't convinced this would be any good and offered to buy a more expensive named brand, but he insisted that this one would be fine, so that's what we bought. A few weeks later and I had to use this myself as I'm very pale and managed to get slightly burnt on my shoulders even though I'd only been in the sun 10 minutes! ~**~Packaging~**~ ...
...and is only available from Asda stores. ~**~My Verdict~**~ Overall, I was very impressed with this product. Although there are some things where I always buy the budget version, I probably would have chosen a more expensive version of after sun had I been choosing myself. I am, however, very impressed with this after sun lotion, and would thoroughly recommend it. A great buy and a bargain too! ...

Review of Asda Smartprice After Sun Lotion

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

A shower too many??

Advantages: Stunning Smell
Disadvantages: Needing to constantly shower

...am a regular customer of The Body Shop. I beleive that products we use should not be tested on animals, as the results on us may be totally different and they use organic ingrediants in their products. I bought this Cocoa Butter Aftersun Lotion from the Body Shop before going on holiday in Greece, well a little island off Greece called 'Zakynthos' where temperatures are very hot!! I used this aftersun cream after a day of swimming and bathing by ...
...out that evening, then apply the lotion. The lotion was very soothing, and gave me a rather nice smell, so that I didn't have to apply any fragrances like perfume on myself, which would have irritated my skin. I then showered it off in the evening because I felt sticky, though I blame this more on my sweating than the lotion, but the lotion could have contributed to it a litlle bit. I would strongly recommend buying this item if going to a place ...
