Yes, I know sunscreen is the best option before going out, and I'm not referring to burns, blisters or peeling skin. What do you use if you come home and your skins looks/feels slightly pink? I want something to nourish my skin. Any recommendations and why do you like it?

Just aloe vera gel, it's very cooling and moisturising. I find a lot of the commercial after suns contain alcohol which just dries my skin out more.

I use this one

@sqirrelfriendsirrel- thanks for the link. I agree, I want something without alcohol, but that aloe vera gel contains benzyl alcohol! Does it dry your skin, or do you find it ok? Not sure I'd even get through a kilo of it

@WeAreTheHeroes- thanks. I shall look it up.

@Elouera I had no idea! No it doesn't dry my skin out or make me itch, which is the issue I have with most after sun gels.

This never happens to me, are you putting enough sun block on?.
