Boots Soltan After Sun Lotion with Insect Repellent

I admit it, I'm a sun-worshipper. When I was in Tenerife recently, I lay out in the sun from 11am-1pm. Dermatologists all over are now staring at the screen in disbelief, but come on... I always feel healthier with a tan and anyway, I was wearing lots of sun lotion! I was sat in my hotel room one afternoon, getting changed, and realised I was peeling on my shoulders, and that I had a strip of pinkness on my tummy, where my tummy was exposed and I had forgotten to put on any sunscreen! Disgusted, I reached for my sister's aftersun. I had a quick look at the bottle: Boots Soltan Aftersun with ... more

*** This isn't actually the Insect Repellent variety, it's a review of the original Aftersun product. I asked Ciao to add a listing for the Aftersun and they told me it existed right here - even though this isn't it!*** Boots Soltan Aftersun lotion - 12 Hour Moisturising Aftersun Lotion I went on a 6-week trip to California this summer and anticipated needing plenty of Aftersun to put on my sunburn. As it happens the sun cream I used (Boots Soltan SPF 50+) withstood the test and I had very little sunburn, but I still went through plenty of Aftersun. I chose the Boots Soltan Aftersun lotion ... more

With me having just come back from holidays recently, I knew before I went that it'd be best to be safe and purchase after sun as a holiday essential. I am not really one for getting sunburn but I just take it with me to stop my skin from getting dry in the sun as well as cooling down any areas that may be ever so slightly sunburnt or even dark that I want to prevent from peeling. I went into Boots as I like their sun range and bought a bottle of Soltan after sun lotion which is in a 200ml tall bottle which is more than enough for one week away. PACKAGING The bottle is very distinct and like ... more

Ok you should not really need and after sun lotion - you should be using a sun protection that is high enough so that you do not get burnt or even a little bit pink! But if you are like me - very fair skinned then no matter what factor i use i do tend to go a little bit pink. Boots soltan is great as it really does sooth your skin and is easily absorbed into your skin. It smells ok and is reasonable priced so its a good poroduct to buy. Another reason i use it is due to the fact it has a built in insect repellent - which does seem to keep the local wild life away! Obviously dont use it on ... more

Being the avid sun-seeker that I am, I have tried many of the after-suns available in different stores. I came across this one purely by chance, (last minute purchase before boarding the plane at Gatwick), and have used it every since. The insect repellent I find a must as I am not a fan of creepy-crawlies, and find that my mosquito bites are now kept to a minimum. It has a pleasant aroma and is easily absorbed into the skin. Another bonus is that it is not greasy at all, and therefore can be used on the face without you sporting a shiny forehead and nose all evening. I only use it on holiday ... more
