After sun and bath...

Advantages: Moisturising
Disadvantages: None

....49 so I think i got a really good after sun for a very 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 to apply, and easily absorbed, i would recommend this to anyone going on holiday, or even as a normal every day moisturiser to keep skin soft and hydrated. Thanks for reading. Daniela x (The picture shown on ciao is actually a different aftyer sun- I think the normal one not the complete body care)...

Review of Hawaiian Tropic Complete Body Care After Sun

A Non Peeling After Sun

Advantages: no peeling, works quick, absorbs and softens skin
Disadvantages: slightly sticky

...'t stand these sticky creams for after sun that just don't loose the greasiness. So, what it aims to do is soothe and rehydrate every 12 hours. It has cactus extract which to me didn't sound very cooling but I was so desperate for the redness to go down. I found it quite useful that on the back of the bottle it has some answered questions. It claims to be non-sticky and non-greasy and to be easily absorbed. It is meant to rebalance the skin that has been dehydrated and over-heated. It all sounded very promising and so I put it to the test. I would say you only need to put on a little on each section because a small drop seems to easily cover the whole area. It is a cream which is not of a thick consistency and so is easy to rub into the skin. It is very cooling at first and also has a refreshing cucumber like smell. I found it absorbed...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Soother

bargain after sun

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

...We were shopping in Asda, when my boyfriend said he wanted some After Sun as he had got sunburnt on his arms. We headed for the sun 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~**~ Smart Price is Asda's economy range, and like all other products in this range, the packaging is plain white and simply has 'after sun lotion' written on the front in blue - no fancy writing or pictures. The bottle has a small, flip top cap, which when...

After Sun with a Hint of Orange

Advantages: Good moisturising Properties
Disadvantages: Makes your hands go orange

...I saw this on special offer (B.O.G.O.F) in Superdrug just before my last holiday. What a bargain I thought as this normally retais at £6.99 per bottle (150ml). This just serves to remind me that some items are on special offer for a reason. ***The Product*** The product is easily identifiable as part of the Ambre Solaire product range, coming in a blue and white flip top tube which stands on its lid that has a large Garnier Ambre Solaire logo at the top and can usually be found with their other sun products in Boots, Superdrug and other major retailers. The after sun is advertised as being a soothing, hydrating moisturiser specially developed to rebalance dehyrdrated and over-heated skin caused by excessive skin exposure together with low levels of self tanning ingredients to subtly enhance and deepen your tan. It contains...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Maintainer

Soooo sooothing!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Really soothes hot skin
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

..., therefore sometimes we are a bit naughty, bend the rules and just make the most of the sunshine abroad that we do not seem to have while we are home! Therefore if you miss the warmth of the sun rays on your skin just like me, sometimes this may risk in a little burn on your first day of sun exposure. As mentioned tanning products or oils definitely play an important part in the tanning process: some contain carotene, some this vitamin or that innovative ingredient guaranteed to do the tricks but at the end of the day when you come out of the shower your skin can't help feel a bit dry, warm and in some cases a bit burned . Well let me tell you this a magical product and might work for you!! The market offers creams, after sun lotions but this is the only soothing gel I have seen around and I have noticed how good it worked on me. As you...

Review of Clarins After Sun Ultra Soothing Gel

Clinique After Sun with Aloe - Don't be a lobster!

Advantages: Really cools down skin, stops flaking
Disadvantages: A tad expensive, but worth it!

...been in the sun. It also really helps with moisturising my skin so I don't get horrible flaking skin, which is not a good look on holiday (or anytime!) I find that it absorbs in to the skin really quickly and is really effective in cooling burnt areas and moisturising. Another great thing about this lotion is that it is oil free, it is also allergy tested and fragrance free. Since the lotion was really good at soothing it really made me feel more comfortable and reduced and itching the sun caused me. Because the aloe cooled my skin I think that my skin was less red in the long run too. I really like the design of the tube, it is a mint green colour with a big yellow 'C' on the front of it and then a yellow band across the middle with 'Clinique After Sun' written on it. It has a yellow plastic flip top which really aids with opening...

Review of Clinique After Sun Balm With Aloe

More than just an after sun.

Advantages: Aftersun & fake tan all in one, cooling and hydrating.
Disadvantages: Orange nails and clothes.

...Why I chose this product? I usually take my leftovers of suntan lotion and after sun on holiday but I read an article last year that the stability of sun protection lotions is unknown and as a result the shelf life of these products may have been over estimated. I quickly binned the dregs and half empty bottles that were lurking in my cupboards. New lotions and after sun were bought for my recent holiday to 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...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Maintainer

Sooth away the sun

Advantages: easy to apply, pleasant smell and provides instant relief
Disadvantages: none

...At the same time as purchasing a sun lotion for my daughter when she was of a tender age I hunted in a bargain bin in Mothercare and came up trumps when I found their own brand of soothing aftersun lotion reduced from £4.49 to £2.99 and for a 200ml bottle it was a definite bargain. Not saying that our summers haven't been up to standard but my daughter is now 3 and I still have the very same bargain bottle and it's not through underuse either. Even though when she was a baby and I took all the natural precautions of keeping her out of direct sunlight avoiding direct contact between the sun and her skin I still used to smother her in sun protection (just in case, as mothers do) and give her the treat and her skin a welcome relief at the end of a tiresome sunny day with a nice rub of this lotion after her bath. This product is...

Review of Mothercare Soothing Aftersun Lotion

Clarins After Sun Moisturiser

Advantages: smell, moisturising effect, deep tan, enhanced rich golden colour
Disadvantages: £££££

...Spending a fortune on a holiday only for your tan to fade within a few weeks? I have found a product that will both enhance and retain your golden tan for weeks longer than normal, and the cost is actually quite minimal considering the multitude of benefits it offers the mind and body. I say mind as I feel really good every time I look in the mirror and see my radiant face looking back even though it is over 6 weeks since I returned from my holiday and anything that makes me smile is a good thing. Clarins After Sun Moisturiser with Self Tanning Action comes in a 150ml tube, costing between £9 - £16 depending on where you buy it from. It can be found behind the counter of most larger Boots stores or the Clarins perfume stands of most major department stores. As an aftersun lotion it is pretty expensive but I have found that each area I...

SOOTHING SENSUAL SPRAY

Advantages: Easy to apply, cools the skin and mosturises
Disadvantages: dangerous top to the bottle, hands get slippery when applying, smell of cocnut is not everyones cup of tea

...a good sun protection, that is suitable for your skin, a lovely golden tan may be nice and healthy looking, but the lobster look is definately out as is skin cancer! The spray idea is a great one for sun products - especially for little ones as it gets into everywhere like ears for maximum protection and soothing. At £2.49 it is a must have for all medicine cabinets and beach bags. After 3 days of use, morning and evening, for all the family, there is still a large quantity in the bottle, less than a quarter of the bottle used. The whole family's skln is soft and smooth, not a spec of redness in sight and no sign of peeling despite carlessness of not applying sunscreen!...
