Advantages: Soothes and cools burnt skin, burn turned into a tan

Disadvantages: none however is slighty sticky

A couple of weekends ago a heatwave hit Britain and we reached over 30 degrees here in the north west. I was out in the garden for 3 days straight, and after that I was so sunburnt I could not go out. However I did need to go driving somewhere so I put my roof down and burnt myself all over again as I had to drive around for hours.

My skin was bright red, tight and very very sore, so I searched my cupboards from top to bottom and found the ambre solaire aftersun. The family sized pack of 400ml is coloured light blue, a nice and soothing colour. The smell was really nice and reminds me of sun cream, which obviously reminds me of the sunny times I have in the summer.

On sight it looks like any other sun cream or after sun, a white cream but rubs in clear. On application it was painful (only because of my sun burn though ha!) however straight away started to cool and sooth my skin. I started putting it on a couple of times a day, and gradually my severe burn turned into a nice golden tan. However I did start to peel badly on my chest (and I NEVER peel!) so I can only imagine it was because I hadn't applied after sun to that area. I did not peel anywhere else.

This product soothes burns and soaks in well however I would suggest to apply it at night because then it won't stick to your clothes. I would recommend this after sun to anybody, especially those with children and those who want to prevent peeling. The only thing my after sun cannot get rid of is the hideous white lines that have been made by my bikini HA!

Summary: excellent product
