Summer is a great season to spend time outdoors enjoying the
activities you love; barbecues, hiking, sunny beach days and lazy
afternoons lounging on the patio. Although I love fun in the sun, prolonged
exposure can be harmful so it is important to protect
against UV and UVB rays. Despite my best efforts to heavily slather on
sunscreen and sprays I still tan and occasionally I experience peeling and unsightly
heat rash.
Today I have a review on the After Sun Repair Gel by
Dermalogica. This gel is a cooling treatment that helps remedy the damage of UV sun. For those who enjoy tanning but detest the pain of sunburn this product helps calm
skin and reduce irritation and redness. This is also a great product to have on hand
when water exposure reduces the effectiveness of sunscreen or for the days
you just forget to re-apply.
The gel is formulated without artificial fragrances, colors
or parabens making it suitable for sensitive skin. It also contains some
wonderful natural ingredients such as: prickly-ash, clove extract, licorice, lavender,
cucumber, algae, and fruit extracts. The scent is refreshing and herbal and the
gel cools on contact.
This product can also be used
on the face and body to relieve discomfort after waxing and heat rash. I like
that it is light-weight, dries quickly and does not leave behind a residue. It is a great summer essential, beach bag must-have and comes in handy on an exotic Caribbean vacation.
Oh my gosh, I NEED THIS!! Ever since moving down South, I've been getting burnt to a crisp. I got a heat rash for the first time in my life last week, and it wasn't pretty!
