In summer I have a naughty habit of not applying sunscreen to all areas of my body, mostly because I can't reach or I am too lazy (slaps hand). On one day in particular I remember being at the beach for five hours with out so much as a sun hat and one application of sunscreen. In between that five hours there were countless swims and shenanigans so of course the sunscreen would have worn off.
I get home to shower and trying to dry myself I yelp in pain from the bad sunburn I got as a souvenir OUCH!! My skin blistered it was that bad. I got the hubby to apply Cancer Soceity After Sun Gel and oohhhh the relief was almost instantaneous! It was like wearing a big cool blanket of relief. I applied this everyday, twice a day for five days. My skin felt less painful and usually I would peel but this time I just tanned.
I keep this in the fridge because it's not only great for sunburn but for minor burns and abrasions. It's great cooling effect is so refreshing and welcome. Despite the price I would buy it anyway to have on hand at all times. I learned a valuable lesson after that about wearing and reapplying sunscreen all the time even on cloudy days. I know that if it weren't for After Sun Gel my skin would have been a train wreck. It's a must have for anyone!
This is my go-to whenever I'm sunburnt and in need of a gel to help soothe the heat and pain. It cools the skin upon contact leaving you feeling relieved instantly. It absorbs into the skin fast and doesn't leave any kind of residue behind. Depending on the severity of the sunburn it may need to be applied more often to keep the cooling sensation. Definitely on of my must-haves whenever summer comes around
