Sun Sprays help, Nivea more

Advantages: Read the Review
Disadvantages: Price, requies frequent application

...together psychological. But it was not steaky at all in fact after application I thought ?My god what is this, it vanishes like anything, but it transpired that it was one of its quality. Spray and never feel that you put on something. Great. But it gave even tan considering my skin color even better for my girlfriends skin color. About protection against the ominous skin cancer it is very welcome, but effectiveness is to be corroborated. But the only problem is that it needs to be used on regular basis and requires frequent application. Which is a bit of a draw back. Overall, an excellent product and thank you again all you my colleagues at Ciao for those wonderful reviews. It?s expensive but excellent SUN SPRAY. I?ll buy it again....

Review of Nivea Sun Spray

Spray Safe with Nivea Sun Spray!

Advantages: Nice bottle, easy to use, absorbed well.
Disadvantages: A little expensive unless bought on a deal.

...I love this product mainly because I am LAZY and if I am out in the sun it is usually on a beach where I would rather be having fun than slathering sun cream on! A quick and effortless way of protecting yourself from sun burn and sun damage, which with my fair skin makes it a vital product! This is a simple but great design. The ergonomic bottle is easy to hold, even with slippery hands and the spray lets out a generous burst of lotion that is easily rubbed into your skin. Because it's quicker and easier to use, you're more likely to bother applying it and I can imagine it's also a plus for impatient children who would rather squirm away and dive into the sea! I bought a bottle of this a couple of years ago and since I don't see too much sun here in the UK, I still have ample amounts left. I purchased it half-price on offer and it has...

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

...OK guys and gals, hands up - who got burnt to a crisp over the weekend???? Yep yep yep hands appearing all over the place. I must confess that even after writing an op about sun protection the other day, I neglected to put it on yesterday when I took the dog out! Alright so it wasn't blistering sunshine at 8 yesterday morning, it was sunny, but a little chilly with a lovely breeze, BUT I still got slightly burnt! Not third degree burns - but slightly scorched all the same. I have tried over the years a number of after sun products, that claim all sorts of weird and wonderful things, make your skin glow - it is glowing enough to fry eggs already thanks! Those that cool you down instantly (they don't), those that alleviate the burning and prolong your tan - I have yet to find one as good as Calypso after sun spray.It doesn...

Review of Calypso After Sun Spray

After sun and bath...

Advantages: Moisturising
Disadvantages: None

...Hawaiian tropic complete care after sun after bath I tend to buy a lot of the Hawaiian tropic products when we go abroad because i like the smell and they remind me of holidays spent in the sunshine. I had never tried this one before but decided it was worth a go because I have never had any problems with the products before. WHAT DOES IT DO? Since this doesn't just market itself as an after sun, but rather as complete body care, i am expecting something great from it, although even before I use it, I do expect it to be merely an after sun/moisturiser...not cynical, merely a realist. This is an after sun/after bath product so I believe that makes it the kind of product which can be used all year round as a body moisturiser, unless it is for after the bath when you have previously spent the day on the sun. I digress... the product...

Review of Hawaiian Tropic Complete Body Care After Sun

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...

Review of Asda Smartprice After Sun Lotion

A Non Peeling After Sun

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

...So, last weekend was probably one of the hottest of the year so far according to me. I didn't actually realise how hot it was at the time of course so avoiding putting on suntan lotion. However, I later regretted this when I got home, after hours of sunbathing. I noticed my arm was bright red as were my cheeks and nose. I didn't have any after sun at home unfortunately at the time so I was made to live out my daily life in humiliation with a bright red nose. The first thing I did when I had the time to do so was run into Tesco and get some kind of after sun. The Ambre Solaire one was on offer so I bought it and ran home. The bottle is quite nice a light blue colour and this is relevant as it is a soother. It has a secure top that you snap open and the typical Garnier logo. It is a hydrating milk which to me sounded good because I can...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Soother

Nivea Sun Childrens Sun Spray

Advantages: water resistant, coloured initially, easy grip bottle, smells nice, works well, easy to apply
Disadvantages: runs out fast, slightly too runny, stains white clothing

...This product is specifically designed for children, it provides a very high level of protection against UVA and UVB rays (factor 40), claims to be extra water resistant and suitable for children's delicate skin as well as being coloured so that you can see where it has been applied (to avoid missing bits!). All of the above reasons made this sun spray seem like an ideal one to use on my little brother on our holiday. Nivea is a brand that I have always used and never had a problem with, so when I saw that tescos were selling two 200ml spray bottles for just £10, I brought this factor 40 kids product for my bother and a bottle of nivea sun spray factor 20 for the rest of us. As soon as we were at our hotel in Crete my brother wanted to be in the pool so it seemed the ideal time to test the water resistance of the sun spray as...

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

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...

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

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

...I bought this after sun in duty free whilst going on holiday. I also bought the sun lotion to match! As I am really bad at packing it was my fault for leaving my other sun lotions at home and I had to shell out for expensive sun cream and after sun at the airport, but at the same time it is nice having the Clinique fancy stuff! My skin is really sensitive so I have to be really careful in the sun and make sure that I apply lots of sun cream, sometimes though, as hard as I try not to, I do get burnt. Because of this I need a good after sun lotion to use. I really like this after sun. I found that with the added aloe vera in it, it really cools down my skin instantly which is really what I look for in an aftersun. I like something that cools my skin down and refreshes it since my skin gets really hot when its burnt or when I have...
