Take it from me, the voice of experience, inless you get a slightly disturbing thrill out of small children running up to you declaring "Here comes the Lobster lady" get down to Boots as quickly as your burnt legs will carry you cos the Nivea range is on special offer!
Ive never really taken much notice of the brand of aftersun I use. I'm usually into much pain to care so just slap the stuff on regardless. But this stuff really made me take notice. It's very sensitive on your skin and doesn't sting as it cools your sunburn down. It's also gentle enough to use on your face with out causing a break out in spots.
The packaging may not be very exciting, but who cares when you need quick pain relief. I'm a firm believer that when it comes to Sun protection products, you have to be prepared to pay that bit extra as the damage the sun can do is very extreme. At the moment you can get 1/4 of all Nivea sun products and I strongly recommend that you go and take a look.
The cream has a lovely texture, not to thick or to runny and really moisturises your skin. It smelt pleasant enough, absorbed easily into the skin and didn't cause peeling.
Everyone knows the dangers of the sun, if you've ever seen anyone suffer with skin cancer, you'll understand how important it is to be aware. If you do get burned please make sure you keep your skin moisturised, it maybe inconvenient but you'll be grateful in the long run
I have seen someone suffer with skin cancer - my partner, he has a hole in his back 4in x 3in to prove it, and is lucky to be alive, but not out of the woods yet. Aftersun will not reduce the risk of skin cancer - not burning in the first place might, although contrary to popular belief, there is no such thing as a healthy tan. Dangerous information.

Glad to know it works, though it's perhaps best to avoid too much exposure in the first place, as I assume the harmful UV rays (if prolonged) have already done some damage in some way or other.
