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.

Tips: Keep as cool as possible
As a very pale individual, I’m pretty much always going to get sunburnt no matter how much sunscreen I’m using! Needless to say, over the years I’ve sustained some pretty nasty sunburns and tried almost all the after sun gels available in the supermarket. I can genuinely say that the cancer society after sun gel is the best of the best. It has an amazing immediate soothing effect, and seems to be the only after sun gel that relieves me for more than 5 minutes after application! It dries down nicely and isn’t sticky! I also have sensitive skin which tolerated this gel really well. It does have a little fragrance to it, but I don’t mind that! Overall I’d definitely recommended getting this to keep in your summer stash!
Tips: I always keep it in the fridge. The soothing effect is even better when the gel is kept in the fridge as it also cools hot/burnt skin wonderfully!
This product is amazing when I have a burn, which can happen fairly often during the hot weather we’re experiencing this year. Last year I had an awful sunburn and use this everyday and it was amazing. It’s so nice when you apply a cooling gel to your hot hot sun burn and the cancer society gel does the job so well. It works better than any other one i’ve tried.
No one wants to get sunburnt, but when you do this is the product you want on hand. It cools your skin instantly and leaves you feeling so much better. It has a light fragrance and doesn’t leave a sticky residue behind like some other aloe vera gels. For the price you get a decent sized bottle of which will easily last you the summer if you don’t get burnt often!
Tips: Leave it in the fridge, feels so much better cold on a fresh burn!
I love this stuff. It is cold and soothing, and fast working in my experience. One of the main gripes I have with after sun gel is the often tacky/sticky feeling that I get once the product has dried down a little, which I did not experience with this product! Also pretty affordable for what it is and in a easy bottle to bring with you to wherever you might need it.
Tips: Stick it in the fridge before use for an even more cooling effect on burns:)
Recently I ended up with quite bad sunburn on my neck, back and shoulders. As someone who is usually very careful in the sun, I was surprised at how painful it was. I decided to look for some after sun gel or cream at the supermarket, and stumbled across the Cancer Society After Sun Gel. It was very reasonably priced, and the 'Cancer Society' brand was more familiar to me than the others, so I chose this one.
The gel is quite thick, but it is very easily absorbed into the skin and easy to apply. It instantly feels pretty sticky, but as soon as it soaks into your skin, the stickiness disappears. It has a lovely 'cooling' effect - even more so when stored in the fridge.
My skin felt very nourished. This stuff is great. It really relieved the sore, burning-hot, tight feeling. My skin still did peel a little - but not as much as I think it would have if I didn't use it.
This will now be a summer staple in my fridge in case my family or I get caught out again.
Tips: As everyone else has suggested - store this in the fridge
love, love this product it is so nice and refreshing and cooling on the skin. Works so fast on sunburn to help your skin get back to normal. It is thick when it comes out of the bottle but quickly absorbs into the skin and dry's. Doesn't leave skin sticky at all
Tips: put in fridge to give it extra coolness
So over the summer I spent way too long in the sun and ended up with rather bad sunburn. So I went in search for a product that would help reduce the pain and make the process of healing the burn faster.
I came across this one, it was a rather reasonable price. It placed a cooling sensation on my sunburn and dried rather quickly, like it claimed on the bottle. I have used other brands and they haven't had the same affect.
The other thing that I found great about this product was that it reduced the amount of damage to my skin. I'm usually prone to peeling after burning and I got minimal peeling of my skin while using this product. Plus, I ended up with a slight tan. Which is rather rare for me as I'm so pale.
I always like products recommended from the Cancer Society as they have so much valuable information re skin damage and are not just trying to sell a product. I like their sunscreen and this Gel is just what is needed after sun when I have been outside as it adds moisture and any thing with Aloe Vera is soothing and healing.I usually have my shower first and then apply the gel over my arms and legs and anywhere which has been exposed to the weather . It is really cooling and in no time at all it absorbs into my skin with out any sticky residue.
Tips: Try not to get burnt first .Use the gel after being outside every time.
Literally feels like heaven on burnt skin. So soothing and factually helps the severity of the burn which is brilliant
