Product Information

According to the NHS, other no-go remedies include petroleum jelly (Vaseline), and you should avoid tight-fitting clothes. For tanning pros or those who can trust themselves to really rub it in all over, you should have nothing to worry about though. Sure to soothe even sensitive skin, including our tester’s nasty rash, this is a product that definitely deserves a spot on your bathroom shelf. It is estimated that more than 4 out of 5 cases of skin cancer are preventable by taking appropriate precautions.

But, if you can just about handle a cool bath, or are so burnt the thought of sitting in cold water is actually quite tempting, it may be a good idea to get a headstart on your skin soothing. Plus, it does everything a good after-sun product should do, too – you’ll feel it hydrating your skin the moment you apply it. In the UK, skin cancer is by far the most common cancer, with almost 16,000 new cases of melanoma and 150 000 new cases of non-melanoma skin cancer diagnosed each year. While it isn’t the most cooling, it is hydrating, working like a normal moisturiser, reducing peeling and any itchiness.While we did notice very slight signs of added smoothness on our skin, mainly on the forehead, we didn’t use it quite long enough to spot the real benefits. Although sceptical at first, our very fair-skinned tester did notice a difference, with a visible tan line after one week of being on holiday, something that has never happened before, so rest assured this will be packed in every suitcase from now on. Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Hydrating Tan Maintainer is right for you if your skin needs rehydrating after a day in the sun, and if you want to prolong the look of your suntan, even after your holiday. However, this gel hasn’t quite been perfected to the level of its creamy counterparts, and feels quite sticky, taking a while to really soak in properly.

Keep it in the fridge and it will feel even more cooling on the skin – although it can feel ever so slightly sticky straight after application. But, one of the things we liked the most was the bottle, with handy finger ridges that meant it never slipped, no matter how product-soaked our hands were. Enriched with responsibly sourced aloe vera extract from Mexico, shea butter and glycerin, it instantly soothes sore and tight skin with a boost of hydration that feels cooling on warm patches. This can be more than half a teaspoon to each arm and to the face, ears and neck, and just over a teaspoon to each leg, the front of the body and the back. Whether you’re looking to tone down that red, cool the burn or just extend your tan, keep reading to see what we’ve found.So whether you have a very slight sun-kissed look, full-on bronzing, or mild sunburn, after-sun is for you. One says it was the only product that worked to soothe “very sore sun damage” acquired on a windy beach, and another says they use it as a daily body moisturiser all year round – with better results than standard moisturisers. Working to help cells repair after UV damage, licochalcone A and glycyrrhetinic acid help support the body’s DNA while reversing skin pigmentation and other sunburn effects too, making this quite the powerful potion. But, while no one sets out to get sunburnt, it can happen to the best of us – even the ones who slather on the factor 50, wear sunglasses, sun hats and stay out of the rays between 11am and 3pm, as we all should.
