Aftersun tip

Horseygirl_2

After getting burnt at the weekend I popped out at lunchtime today to get some aftersun as I am feeling very tender and sore

I was shocked to see that the on offer price for most of the after sun was £5+ so went on the hunt for an alternative (anything with Aloe Vera basically!) and came across this little treasure!

Tesco do their own Aloe Vera body lotion for £1 which clearly states in the blurb that its "Ideal for use as a refreshing aftersun lotion"

I have snapped up a couple of bottles, at 400ml its bigger than the usual sized aftersun too.

Its in a turqoise bottle with a dark blue lid and can be found amongst the moisturisers.

Hope thats of use to everyone!

another thing that is good for sun burn is calomine lotion i have some in a spray bottle for my little girl as she burns all the time even with sun cream! i used some the other day before going to bed the next day the sun burn was gone and only 80p a bottle in tesco!:j

I always keep my aftersun in the fridge so that it's extra cooling!

Yes but only if your have skin like cornflakes

Try using p20 sun lotion or p10 if you tan easier, it's a fab investment apply once a day (yes only once a day) I'm a bit of a redish head so burn from one touch of sun but with this stuff never burned in 5 years I've been using it (also good if you suffer from prickly heat cuts it right out).

Its also water proof, its expensive about £25rrp 200ml, best price I've found is £17 home & bargain, but you save in the long run cos it's only once a day application and it lasts ages and no need for any after sun

PROTECT YOUR SKIN FROM FUTURE SKIN PROBLEMS PROTECT IT:T DON'T BURN :cool:

Hi might sound like a silly question but do you buy it in a spray or do you transfer it out of the bottle.

Thanks

i put it in a frizz ease spray bottle lol works a treat shame they dont make it in a spray bottle makes it far easyer to apply.
