OUAI After Sun
Body Soother
£20, theouai.co.uk
Rather like a hair mousse,
give this bottle a shake
and it pumps out a cloud
of cold foam, which then
fizzes and dissolves into
a soothing liquid that’s
infused with aloe vera and
rosehip oil. It won’t give
the same rich, intensely
nourishing feeling as
a body butter or cream,
but it will quickly take
some of the heat out
of sunburn.
A FRESH-FEELING GEL
Clarins Refreshing
After Sun Gel
£22, clarins.com
This creamy gel is perfect for
hot, sweaty limbs that can’t
stand the feeling of creamy
lotions in summer. It dries to
a cool-feeling, slightly tacky
film on the skin and, along
with aloe vera, also contains
sunflower extract, which
helps to reduce heat from the
skin. Keep it in the fridge for
an even zingier sensation.
