I know that you should not let sun exposure get to the point when you have had too much and you need to use an after sun product with aloe vera to help heal the burn. However, it’s easy to miss a patch of skin when you apply sunscreen, or to forget how long you have been in the sun. And when that happens it is great to have a well working product that you can rely on. The Cancer Society After Sun gel works really well to calm the skin when you have overdone it a bit in the sun. I generally prefer after sun gels with aloe vera to other after sun products as aloe vera helps with burns. It does not just make your skin temporarily feel better, it actually helps with skin repair after a burn. The gel has a really nice consistency and is not sticky like some other products with aloe vera. I also think the price is really fair, especially given that funds raised will go to the Cancer Society, and that this product is made in New Zealand. I usually try to buy NZ made products when possible, and this is definitely one that I will buy again.

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 love this product!! It soothes the skin after a day in the sun and the days after as well. It does take a little while to dry but once it’s does it still soothes. It’s not sticky or messy and doesn’t smell either
This is lovely to use after a big day in the sun. It is cooling and soothing. It dries properly and leaves skin feeling soft and smooth.
Tips: Keep in the fridge which makes it even cooler on your hot skin.
After being outside on a hot day this is so cool and soothing on the skin. Its not heavy and the gel texture feels nice. Aloe Vera is just an amazing must have. It’s especially cooling if kept in the fridge.
I'm brown and I get burnt a little from the sun because here it's so harsh so when I forget sunscreen or I have a little burn I put it on and it keeps it cool even throughout the day putting a little on your shoulders and neck helps..
A summer essential, especially after being in the long hot summer sun! We are pretty good at wearing sun screen, so do not burn. We keep our after sun in the fridge, it is so lovely and cooling, especially after a shower. It keeps moisture in your skin and it is not sticky and absorbs into the skin well.
Tips: Not only can this be used for after sun, but it is great to use on bites, stings, prickles. Keeping it in the fridge keeps it nice and cool, soothing any sunburn instantly.
Best thing to use after sunburn. Takes the sting away immediately as long as it is left in the fridge. Leaves skin hydrated aswell so the chances of peeling are low if you use this for the time you are burnt.
Literally feels like heaven on burnt skin. So soothing and factually helps the severity of the burn which is brilliant
This product is great at removing the stinging you get from sunburns and prevents the skin from peeling later on. I did find it a little sticky though and uncomfortable if putting clothes on after.
This is so refreshing - you must try this: place in fridge and keep for every incase time you may need.
I love the smell and texture is good. Not overly sticky compared to cheaper ones
