...Kos, Greece.
I bought Garnier Amber Solaire moisturising protection spray and Garnier Amber Solaire After Sun hydrating tan maintainer. The packaging has changed slightly so I've included a picture of the actual one I bought.
This after sun claims to "hydrate skin and intensify suntan". It is suitable for the face and body being both non-greasy and non-sticky. The back of the tube reads "Is hydrating tan maintainer right for me? Yes, if your skin ... ...keep me topped up.
Garnier claim that this product is dermatologically tested which should mean that it is skin compatible although cosmetic research institutes have yet to agree on a definition for this so I can not comment on how sensitive skins might react to use.
Things I didn't like:
All I can really moan about was the packaging. It's made for all over body use but the tube makes despensing smaller amounts for the face a little tricky. As ...

***My Experience***
This product sounded great. It worked okay as an after sun, the rather runny lotion was fairly easily absorbed into your skin and didn't leave a sticky residue, plus the scent wasn't unpleasant and not too overpowering or girlie. My skin always felt nice and smooth after use.
One 150ml bottle lasted the two of us approximately 5 days (we ended up using nearly 3 bottles during the 2 week holiday)

I purchased my 150ml tube from Sainsbury's, it was on a special offer at just 5.99 GBP. (normally retails at between 6.99 and 7.50). On the back of the tube it does ask if this product is right for you ? It advises that it is ideal if your skin needs rehydrating and if you want to prolong and 'intensify' your suntan.

Advantages: Enhances and boosts your natural tan Disadvantages: Own brand copies - they are not anywhere near as good
I cannot believe l am about to give away my tanning enhancing secret which l have kept quite about for the last 2 years not even telling my closest friends!! Ciao readers consider yourselves very lucky!!

It costs approximately £6.49 and is worth ... ...Tescos own brand which is cheaper - it does not work like the Ambre Solaire.
So why is this product sooo fabulous? Well apart from moisturising your skin after you have spent a hard day sun bathing it also contains 1-2% of a false tan that develops over time. It helps enhance your natural colour - boosting if you like!! It is especially good if you do find it hard to develop a decent colour! It does not streak but l would advise just to err on the ...

Advantages: subtle tan and cheap. Disadvantages: can streak if not applied properly
I purchased this originally because it was on offer at superdrug for £3.49, which is half price and had read about products like this in magazines, which help you keep that healthy suntanned glow. I started using this product after my first days sunbathing and found it made my skin sooo smooth unfortunately I had applied a little too much because the next day I was a little streaky around the bottom of my feet and now realise that you should treat ... ...(and wash your hands afterwards!) But now I apply it correctly I found that it really works I know I’m not really this brown but people at work don’t and that is all due to this product.
The Product

Advantages: tones down redness almost immediately, leaves you slightly tanned! Disadvantages: can stain your hands! take care rubbing in to avoid streaks!
I have been using this product for years now due to its great ability to do just as it says - after sun and tan maintainer!
This is a great product and if you buy it around summer time, you can usually get some good offers on the price.
This product is enriched with glycerol and vitamin E which is meant to prevent the skin peeling and leave it soft and supple.
The product also contains small amounts of self tan to help maintain your natural tan.
... ...is easily absorbed into the skin. It also has a nice smell.
One important point to remember though is that it does contain fake tan. Although it says that it is only small amounts, I find it strong enough to use as an actual self tan. With this in mind, you must take the same precautions as you would when applying a self tanner. Make sure you rub in thoroughly, especially if you are using it on your face and also makes sure you wash hands and nails ...

Advantages: It works. Disadvantages: Cant think of any.
If you have fair skin and catch the sun easily like me then you need to try Ambre Solaire After sun Tan Maintainer.
Normally I tend to go red and sometimes I burn. I have found over the past few years that Ambre Solaire after sun tan maintainer has not only given me a good looking tan over the redness but, it has also moisturised and soothed the areas that have been burned and dried out too.
Before I started using this product did not really use ... ...one I did not really have a clue as to what brand was the best to use. I basically looked at the packing and picked the best looking one off the shelf and to tell you the truth I am really glad I picked this one.
The cream is fairly runny and will run out of the bottle if you leave it on its side and you must be careful not to squeeze too much out, it is fast. The cream is white and had a very faint fresh sort of smell that only lasts during the ...

After returning from a fortnight in Greece with a lovely hard earned golden tan, my Mum suggested i borrow her tan maintainer. Sounded like a good idea, my tan would last longer and i wouldnt have to endure 100 degrees heat for it!
The cream is slightly runny so be careful when you squeeze it out the bottle.

I always always always use this when throughout the year. In fact I stock up in case for some bizarre reason they decide to stop selling it!! This is a great moisturiser - I always use after having a bath or shower and not only does it make my skin super soft but it also gives me a lovely hint of colour. Great for the winter time.

Very good after you've been on holiday or in the sun as it prevents peeling, keeps your skin hydrated and is cooling and refreshing if you've been bad and got sunburn!!!

Advantages: Smells good Disadvantages: leaves you discoloured!
It all started out pretty well. A tan maintainer? I thought this meant that it would maintain the tan that I had already had from hours (and hours!) of lying beside a pool in Tenerife. However this product in fact seemed to ADD to my colour in rather attractive streaks! At first I wondered what it was but this is the only thing that I put it down too. Although a good product which cools your skin down well, it not recommended to be put on in a rush ...

Ambre Solaire After Sun Tan Maintainer - This is a wonder product! Not only is it a great after sun moisturiser but it contains a slight self tanning ingredient to prolong that 'just back from your hols' colour.

Advantages: Leaves skin silky smooth, enhances a slight tan and perfect for those who don't tan easily. Disadvantages: Everywhere is sold out ! Can't get it anywhere
I think this is one of the best tanning products on the market and having tried most I should know.
Excellent for after sunbed use too.
I am a typical fair haired blue eyed red head and had never had a tan, I began with a pre tan starter then had several sessions on a sunbed, after every session I applied the tan maintainer and could really see the difference. I was not sure at first if it was all down to the low level fake tan ingredient, but ... ...helped me get a natural tan and boosted the tan I gained, I know look healthy all year round.
Always apply in thin layers rather than smothering yourself in it, this way you guarantee an even coverage. Excellent value for money and the only problem is I cant get it anywhere, I have searched high and low so if anyone knows where it is still on sale, please please please let me know ! ...
