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

Garnier No Streaks Bronzer Look Like David Dickinson Folks!!

Advantages: None
Disadvantages: Lots

..., pale and ill-looking). In a mad dash I raced around my local boots looking for a spray tan. Yes can you believe it a tan in a can. My husband thought that this was hilarious as I tend to shy away from products like this (since my disasterous experience of tanning in Florida- that however is another story which will never be told). I have to say I had no clue what to buy however the power of advertising got the better of me and I opted for Garnier Ambre Solaire Light No Streaks Bronzer Self-Tanning Spray. It said that it would give me a natural light-looking tan from the first application. That was enough for me so I popped it in my basket. In addition i also purchased rubber gloves the latex variety the reason for which will be revealed later. This item cost £8.99 for a 125ml can. I remember thinking at the time that this was rather...

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

Self-tanning made easy with Ambre Solaire No Streaks

Advantages: Easy to use, dries quickly, nice colour
Disadvantages: Inexperienced users may end up with some slightly darker patches

...I recently bought this after hours spent scouring beauty retailers online, asking a colleague who regularly uses self tanning products and then some more time spent dithering about in stores look at own brands and insanelyt expensive brands. I mainly bought this because it's easy to use, not messy and it was on offer. I bought the light skin version as I have very very pale skin. I used Garnier Sugar Scrub beforehand to make sure I was suitably exfoliated before application. It was fairly quick and easy to mist myself (at all angles as promised by Garnier!) with the bronzer spray and it doesn't smell bad and is quick to dry. Within an hour you have developed a lovely glow and after a night's sleep it has now developed to a mediumy/dark (or maybe just what I'd consider dark) tan. Some parts are lighter than others but it's not...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire No Streaks Bronzer

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

Garnier Nutirisse

Advantages: Great results, price, long lasting
Disadvantages: smell, gloves

...I have been dyeing my hair darker for a few years now, and usually use L?Oreal Casting, but occasionally I use Garnier Nutrisse as well, which I find is just as good. This dye also covers grey hair. In the pack you will find the following items ? 1 pair of gloves 1 bottle of developer milk 1 tube of colour cream 1 sachet of after colour conditioner ~~Preparation~~ The first thing you must do is prepare the colour. This is a relatively easy process, which is good, as some hair dyes I have used in the past have had incredibly complex methods of making the dye, involving measuring powder and mixing things up in a saucer! For this one, you simply squeeze the tube of colour cream into the developer milk and shake. The instruction leaflet included is very clear to understand and includes diagrams, so everyone should find this...

Review of Garnier Nutrisse Hair Colour

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 Great Product If A Tad Bit Expensive

Advantages: Good For The Skin, Doesn't Clog Up Pores, Easy To Access
Disadvantages: A Bit Pricey And Bottle Can Become Sticky

...Garnier are a leading brand in beauty care products available in both the USA and the UK. They have become a wide name in cosmetics with their brands which range from after sun to skin care protection, sun screens and even sunscreen instant tans. 'Clear Protect' is the latest range from Garnier Ambre Solaire only this time to conceal with the companies 'easy access' comes in a nicely shaped squirty bottle with an easy to use nozzle. Unlike most sun care products the substance inside the bottle is transparent (ie water colored) so all that annoying rubbing in won't become a problem when using the product. The coverage you get with this product is also much greater than some other brand names which instantly puts it up there with the best. On the bottle it tells you that the sun screen contains vitamin E which is very good for your skin...

Review of Garnier Ambre Solaire Clear Protect

Protect your children before the damage is done

Advantages: Rubs in easily, lasts well, the green colour makes it easier to apply accurately, rubs in well
Disadvantages: None so far!

...and close to getting a case of nasty sunburn. So every summer now (particularly during June - August when it's hottest) I buy a good quality sun protection cream and smother both of the kids from head to toe. Last year I brought a suncream from the Avon bronzing range and wasn't too impressed with it's staying power as despite being factor 50 it very quickly wore off the kids skin and wasn't water resistant. This year I went on a mission to find a perfect suncream and I hit the jackpot with the first one I tried. I felt my children deserved a well respected brand and this is why my first stop was the Garnier counter in Boots. Amongst the seemingly endless variations on the Ambre Solaire theme something different caught my eye. The bottle is similar to the standard white Ambre Solaire bottle which most of their suncreams have been sold in...
