As the sun goes down and the evening approaches, all skin needs to be conditioned following exposure to UV light, after lying on those idyllic sun drenched beaches as seen in the holiday advertisements. With adverts and now the thoughts of summer in the forefront of most people’s minds, an appropriate skin protection is all-important, but often forgotten about until the last minute. This year why not be prepared? You never know we might have a nice hot summer in England for a change anyway!
With this thought in mind, Avon has produced a range of after sun products, which cool as well as moistures the skin. Avon’s Aloe Ice Gel can be found in this range. This after sun comes in a 200ml bottle for only £5.00 and lasts for about six weeks if used on a regular basis. The Aloe Vera in this product is known for its healing properties on the skin, and features prominently as its name suggests.
Aloe Ice Gel is a pale blue in colour and is a non-greasy gel that is easily absorbed into the skin. It can be effective in reducing the burning caused by the sun, whilst combating the dehydration effects from seawater and wind burning. This after sun gel is suitable for use on sensitive skin, but if in doubt, try a little on the skin, like a patch test, before committing yourself to this lotion whilst on holiday. If you react or just do not like it, there is always the Avon money back guarantee!
Avon provides a comprehensive range of after sun products, including soothing sprays, after suns containing insect repellents and general even multi-purpose after sun creams.
If exposing skin to the potentially harmful effects of the sun, remember to treat the skin in the evenings and overnight. Always use an after sun lotion is less greasy than a general moisturiser is and the skin will not fry in the oil as it slowly cools. The after sun lotion is formulated to reduce damage to the skin, thus helping to prevent dehydration and peeling of the outer skin. Personally, I like to use the Aloe Gel, when in sunny climates because it cools and moistures without damaging my clothes. I have also found that my skin does not wrinkle either.
Wulise’s Tip:
To prevent the skin’s dehydration is to drink plenty of water, both during the day and in the evening. You may need to go to the toilet a lot more, but your skin will appreciate that little extra attention and the molecules will keep well hydrated and are less likely to show external signs of premature ageing.
