Garnier Ambre Solaire

Advantages: UVA/UVB Protection, moisturises
Disadvantages: A bit greasy

...people occur in the UK and not abroad on holiday so it is definitely something that needs looking at. I have been using Garnier Ambre Solaire for quite a while now and there are some things I like about it and others I don't. It has both UVA and UVB protection which we are told is a great benefit and we should always look for both of these in our sun screen lotion. They both react towards the body differently as so both need to be protected from. UBV rays can cause sunburn and some forms of skin cancer. In the past UVA was considered less harmful, but today it is known, that it can contribute to skin cancer via the indirect DNA damage It penetrates deeply but it does not cause sunburn. Apparently 95% of UV rays are UVA rays, which are believed to be the principal cause for premature ageing as they penetrate deeper into the skin than...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Ultra-Moisturising Protection Milk SPF30

Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer = Brilliant!

Advantages: NO STREAKS!!! + super easy and quick to apply!
Disadvantages: tan is quite light so needs a couple of layers to build a nice colour

...This week I was feeling a little down about my appearance and decided on a fake tan pick me up! I've used lots of different kind of fake tans before and was going to try fake bake or st tropez this time but with times being hard finance wise I decided on Ambre Solaire £8 for the body one and £6 for the face. I am very pale and so went for the 'light' version. Before starting I exfoliated and moisturised well, then applied the tan. I applied as stated on the can, spraying from a distance of 30 cm in regular motions and didn't rub in. It's very easy to apply, it sprays at every angle and took less than 5 minutes to apply. The scent of the tan is quite pleasant at first and not as chemical smelling as some of the others. Although this does give way to the usual fake tan smell as the night goes on!! I really didn't feel the need to rub...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

Get all creamed up for the sun with Ambre Solaire.

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 any other sun cream so when I went looking for 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...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer

  Total Suncreen for Kids

Advantages: High SPF protection, hypoallergenic
Disadvantages: Very easily breakable lid!

...product will be 'sand-free' and sand just doesn't stick to it. Sand will generally get into and on to everything. Not a lot Ambre Solaire can do about that... maybe? They claim on the bottle that this product has 'high sand resistance'!!! I personally haven't noticed that - I think that if you have any cream or moisture on your skin sand will stick to it, so I can't give an answer either way on that one! Maybe they're right? I'm not sure! However, I shall get on with the purposeful part of the review........ I myself had to use kids sunscreen when I had laser treatment for a birthmark on my face - I had to buy the highest protection anyone could offer. Obviously, if I wanted a high SPF/maximum protection cream, I would have to use one made for children. So, I tried many, including Johnsons 50 SPF which I found was extremely greasy and not...

Review of Ambre Solaire Kids

A Fair Maiden in Need of Protection...

Advantages: Clean and light, good coverage
Disadvantages: Tricky Spray Top

...I am the daughter of a strawberry blonde and freckly mother who burns on stepping outside and a brown haired father who tans to a gorgeous golden brown enough to make all sun worshippers in a mile radius weep with envy...Which of these genetic traits did I happen to end up with? Of course, my mother! I do have a little more resistance to the sun than my mother however, luckily getting a little something from my father! But I do still need to be extra careful in the sun. I can tan, but I can also burn. To make sure I stay the right shade of pale I should be, without doing my skin any damage, I use Garnier Ambre Solair Clear Protect. I am a keen festival goer and sun cream is always an essential when standing in a field all day in midsummer. What is Clear Protect? ------------------------------- Mostly everyone knows...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

Feeling hot, hot, hot

Advantages: great protection for your skin, smells lovely
Disadvantages: can take a while to absorb into your skin

...I love the smell of Garnier Ambre Solaire it always reminds me of holidays, beaches and lovely sunny days. Garnier Ambre Solaire suncream protects the skin against UVA and UVB rays. UVA rays penetrate deeply into the skin and can cause long term skin damage such as skin cancer and premature ageing. UVB rays are responsible for sunburn. So by using it you are protecting your skin against all the nasty things the sun can do to it. I love the sun and like to tan a little bit. But there?s no getting away from the fact that a tan is your skin?s way of protecting itself from the sun and it?s a form of damage, however healthy it makes you look. So you can over do it, people who tan their skin to the colour of mahogany must be mad. Also, another thing I get on my soapbox about is what you see in England everytime the sun comes out...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire

A servant to your skin

Advantages: Second to none protection
Disadvantages: None

...the most reliable and well known products. My favourite and possibly the best brand of cream we found in Florida called Panama Jack. Unfortunately you cannot get it in the UK so opt for the next best thing. Ambre Solaire's excellent range of skin care products. Even in our climate, you need protection. With the disappearance of the Ozone layer, many more harmful rays are leaking through onto you whenever your skin is exposed. The choice is simple, You either fry and die, cover up and swelter or protect yourself with the correct skin products. I opt for the latter. REMEMBER, NO TAN IS SAFE, NO MATTER WHAT THEY TELL YOU. TANNING AND BURNING IS ALL SKIN DAMAGE. Why Ambre Soliare? Many reasons, not all of which are protective based. Firstly they have been protecting your skin from the sun sor decades. The choice of the sun...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire

The Best Sun Protection

Advantages: Clear, spray is easy to use, non-greasy
Disadvantages: None

...I've always hated using sun creams because they just make my skin feel so greasy, even the ones that claim to be non-greasy, so when this one came out I had to try it. It costs around £12 - £13 for a 200ml bottle, but many places have buy one get one free offers on sun care products in the run up to summer, so it's worth trying to get hold of it then. You can get it in factors 10, 20 or 30. According to Ambre solaire, this spray has a patented Mexoryl XL filtration system, to protect against UVA and UVB rays. It protects against sun-induced skin damage and the premature aging effects of the sun's harmful rays. And it claims to do all this whilst leaving no white marks, having an ultra-fresh feel, and being 100% non-greasy and water resistant. It comes in a white bottle with an orange spray top and a clear lid. The lid fastens...
