Sun Sprays help, Nivea more

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

...around a beach dressed like a hi fi executive, to be protected against the sun simply because this is a ridiculous idea. But he matter of factly refered to use something, may be a lotion or even a sun spray to take care of that! Do you know what I did? I looked for some useful stuff just here at ciao, because I have some reasonably good reviews published up here and number of people said that their reviews are generally unbiased and best of to is that, they all review it with a good bit of personal experience. I read as many helpful reviews as possible on these types of products. Ultimately my girl friend, and me decided on Nivea Sun Spray factor 10. We took an average and found that the Nivea Sun Spray factor 10 seemed to be the best. Now the problem is getting it. We got hold of factor 2, factor 8 and even factor 15 but not 10. As...

Review of Nivea Sun Spray

Nivea Moisturising after sunlotion with Aloe Vera

Advantages: Cool feeling, leaves skin feeling smooth, not greasy
Disadvantages: Have to admit to using it without sunburn

...This is a review for Nivea moisturising aftersun with Aloe Vera, which is the product (I guess) that replaced the vitamin E version. I could not find a suitable picture. I am not one for cosmetics of any kind really though i am very prone to dry and peeling skin after being in the sun, so I thought that I had better invest in something before a recent holiday to mid South West France. The temperatures were from 75 to 95 degrees F everyday for two weeks and I certainly caught the sun, my face and neck especially, even though i used factor 40 suntan lotion. I used the aftersun every day at least twice a day and I have had no dryness, no peeling and the best skin condition and colour that I have had for years. The large bottle (400ml) was free when I bought suntan lotion from Boots (BOGOF), very easy to apply, not at all greasy...

Review of Nivea After Sun with Vitamin E

How Cool is Nivea!

Advantages: Don't have to rub in
Disadvantages: Makes your skin feel sticky

...NIVEA - Cooling After Sun Spray *WHAT IT DOES* Nivea after sun spray helps cool your skin and sooth it after it has been exposed to the sun. It is particularly helpful if you have gotten sunburnt as it helps restore your damaged skin. The Aloe Vera soothes the skin, whereas the Provitamin B5 and Vitamin E helps repair your skin and store lost moisture. This will help make your skin be in better condition and protect against premature skin ageing due to sun damage. *INTRODUCTION* I have very fair skin and burn easily, so I decided to buy aftersun as I am in the sun a lot and was anticipating the worst. Thank goodness, so far on my travels I have only been burnt badly once so I was very thankful of having this product. I will stress to anyone who is going to be exposed to the sun for long periods of time to cover up (wear lose...

Review of Nivea Cooling After 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.

...been very good value in that respect, although at around £5 normally, it can be a little pricey. However, I still maintain that it is good value, since you rarely use more than you need in it's spray form. As a spray, it also lasts quite well, since you never completely open the bottle so it stays fresher and there is no clogging around the lid as with lotions. I am not sure however, if the SPF is maintained as well over time, but I would suggest observing the use by date. I also like that Nivea do not test their products on animals, as this is an added ethical bonus. I like to think that with the ability to ethically produce such quality, mainstream products, animals testing is becoming more and more unnecessary. I have used this spray on the beach before, where I also went into the sea and I would recommend that it is re-applied after...

Nivea Sun Lotion for Children

Advantages: Great product, nice smell, lasts a long time
Disadvantages: Can be expensive if bought singularly

...Since summer is upon us (she says looking out the window at torrential rain in May!), I thought it would time to review some seasonal products, and why not make it a baby product! I had my son last March,and when the summer came around I wanted only the best things for him, which is why I turned to Nivea Sun Creams. My mum had used them on my brother and I when we went abroad and we never got burnt so for me, that was a great advert. So I strolled into my local chemist and headed straight for the sun creams. To be honest, I was totally shocked at the price of the stuff! I realise that it is only used for a small portion of the year and a bottle can last a long time, but even so! It was advertised at £10.99 for a 200ml bottle. Luckily, as it usually is throughout the summer, they were on Buy One Get One Free, so I grabbed 2 bottles...

Review of Nivea Sun Children

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

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...

Review of Nivea Sun Childrens Sun Spray

~~~NIVEA SUN PROTECTION!~~~

Advantages: protects from harmful sun rays, moisturises! Is water-proof
Disadvantages: some ingredients ''harmful'' - but i doubt this -only rare

...moisturisers. It is brilliantly waterproof!! You can tell when you come out of the swimming pool that is still on you as it has that water-running-off-oil appearance as you first step out. In my experience I would say that it lasts for about 3 hours. After then we would usually top up a little bit, just incase! Nothing worse than red raw shoulders!! ~~~~~ PACKAGING ~~~~~ The bottle's appearance is very simplistic. As shown in the picture for this product it is ofcourse the trademark NIVEA blue. There is nothing special to the bottle, although it can be picked out easily from other moisturisers due to it's bright blue bottle. Although for this slightly lower price you are not expecting something unbelievably fancy. It is simple and gets the message of a moisturising sun tan lotion across easily and clearly. It also has the SPF marked clearly...

Review of Nivea Moisturising Lotion (Normal)

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...
