Ideally no one should ever have to use this (i.e we should never get sunburnt....) but unfortunately it does happen and this is my go-to product when I get burnt. It's easy to apply, soothing, moisturizing, smells nice and even prevents peeling if you apply it regularly. I don't use anything else on my sunburn, and always make sure I have a bottle of it during summer.

Cancer Society After Sun Gel
Cooling, calming and rehydrating. Even well protected from harmful UV radiation, the skin still requires nourishment and rehydration after long periods of exposure to the elements. After sun moisturising gel with Aloe Vera will help bring back the skin’s moisture balance after exposure to the elements. The gel absorbs quickly, leaving your skin cool and re-nourished – no greasy feeling.

I can remember this always being in the bathroom cabinet when I was younger.. Every Summer without fail this would come out to nurse my tear worthy sunburn.
For Years I have trusted this product to relieve burns and it has never failed.
The tube is large so will last you a long time. It wont break the bank as it is more then affordable and it is an absolute must have, especially living here in NZ where unfortunately sunburn in sometimes inevitable!
I will be continuing to purchase and use this for years to come!
Tips: Keeping it refrigerated can be an added dose of relief as it is very cooling and comforting on burns!
Cancer society after sun gel is a fantastic product. Soothing and cooling without getting that sticky feeling that you can get with some other after sun gels. Well priced and not overly perfumed.
Tips: Keep in the fridge for that extra cooling effect.
Yay sooooo glad that this has been added. This was my best friend this summer. I got quite burnt this summer and a colleague noticed (lol) she suggested i try it so i did and i love it! Cooling relief as soon as you apply that lasts for quite a while, and another plus is that it doesn't leave your skin feeling sticky after application either! Good for all skin types as well!
I'm really pleased to see this god-send listed here! it's always one of my must have items for the beach season as I'm one super pasty lady who crisps up easily. I know, I know, "protect your skin, don't spend too long in the sun" unfortunately even though I do slather myself in sunscreen I still end up with little spots I've missed or I get a little sidetracked soaking up the surf & sand and end up a little burnt. Sucks. This stuff is fantastic for those times though and boy, it really is a lifesaver! it eases that nasty burnt feeling and helps put moisture back in to stop it peeling!
Tips: I like to keep a tube in the fridge, it feels sooooo much more soothing
This is a must have. It cools the skin when you need it the most. Pic didn't find it too sticky. Obviously it is a little when first put on, but once it dries it's fantastic. Nice smell, makes your skin soft. Your skin totally soaks this up!
Tips: Even better when stored in the fridge ;-)
This after sun gel is amazing, the biggest upside is that its non greasy and doesnt leave stains or marks if you get it on your clothes. I got really burnt over the Summer and found this one best
Tips: Keep it in the fridge for extra soothing
This gel is very refreshing & adds moisture to dehydrated skin. It is a great tonic for wind burnt skin also, of course we all know how important it is to not get sun burnt but sometimes it does happen. I recommend to friends to use this if they get too much sun. It is non sticky, absorbs quickly & smells quite pleasant. A must have, especially over the summer Very soothing, great for kids & helps stop insect bites itching too
Tips: If you do get burnt apply several times a day to minimize pain & the dreading itchy peeling skin.
We are never without this in our fridge in summer. We always try to be sunsafe, but there's often a spot that misses the sunscreen and this is great to give some relief to angry burns!
It is really well priced for a big tube and lasts for ages. It has a pleasant smell, goes on well (a tiny bit sticky at first) then soaks in and isn't greasy or sticky at all.
It's very soothing and brings relief very quickly.
Tips: Keep it in the fridge, gives you a bit of a shock when you put it on as it's such a contrast to hot angry burn, but feels amazing when it's cool!
I have used this many a time being a red head with fair skin I tend to burn very easily. This after sun gel is a god send! I keep it in fridge to keep it super cold so when applied it really really helps. It absorbs into the skin almost immediately and helps to reduce peeling by keeping the skin moisturised. Definitely a must have in summer!
