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...

Review of Clarins After Sun Moisturiser with Self Tanning Action

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

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

Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Advantages: Luxury, Feels lovely
Disadvantages: Can irritate some skins

...Rightio, before I start Id just like to point out that the cheapest price advertised with this product on ciao is £22. Thats actually higher that the RRP for this product and I know that is it £16 from wowwoman.com with free p&p. Be careful if you buy more than 1 item from this site thiough as any items you buy from Hong Kong over £18 come with an £8 customs charge. **************************** I got my Beauty Flash Balm, or Baume Beaute Eclair as it is also known, from wow woman after seeing it in endless magazines and such for years and years. For some reason I have always been mental about beauty products and since I was about 7 Ive been making a mental list of all the things I want. Whwn I got my first student loan a couple of years ago I embarked on a massive beauty splurge and have spent unspeakable amounts of cash on things...

Review of Clarins Beauty Flash Balm

Soooo sooothing!!!!!!!!!

Advantages: Really soothes hot skin
Disadvantages: A bit pricey

...and nourishing effects it has. I have to admit I would use and after sun cream after 10 minutes or so but simply because the skin can be so thirsty and dry after so many hours under the sun that a gel is just not enough and your dermis needs so much TLC. In this way not only you will be doing good to yourself, but a skin that is well looked after tans well and does not peel as easily as a skin without protection or nourishments. Have to admit though that if you have burned your skin you might still end up peeling as the damage has already been done, but what this product does is to make things better and soothe the area. This product is by Clarins and as you may well imagine it does not come cheap. I am not saying that if you do not buy this your tan will not be good with an ordinary product, but if you want a little luxury you might be able...

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!

...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...

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...
