FAQs

What is the best after sun lotion for children UK?
+

The Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Skin Soother is one of the most widely recommended after sun products for families in the UK, combining a fast-absorbing, lightweight formula with aloe vera to soothe and hydrate sun-exposed skin. It is suitable for use on both adults and children and pairs naturally with the Ambre Solaire Kids sun protection range. For very young babies under three, a product specifically formulated for infant skin may be more suitable.

Does after sun lotion help with sunburn?
+

After sun lotion helps to soothe, cool, and rehydrate skin after normal sun exposure, and the aloe vera in the Ambre Solaire Skin Soother is well regarded for its calming properties. For mild redness and tightness following a day in the sun, an after sun lotion can be very helpful. However, for more significant sunburn involving blistering, peeling, or significant pain, it is important to seek medical advice rather than relying on an after sun product alone.

Can I use after sun lotion on my face?
+

Yes. The Ambre Solaire After Sun Skin Soother can be applied to the face as well as the body. Take care to avoid the eye area and do not apply directly to the lips. If you or your child has particularly sensitive facial skin, patch test a small amount on the jawline or behind the ear before applying more widely.

Should I apply after sun lotion before or after showering?
+

After sun lotion is most effective when applied to clean skin, so applying after a cool or lukewarm shower or bath is ideal. Pat the skin gently dry and apply the lotion whilst the skin is still slightly damp to help lock in moisture. This is particularly beneficial for children's skin, which can dry out quickly after bathing.

How often should I apply after sun lotion?
+

Apply generously after sun exposure and reapply as often as needed throughout the evening. If the skin continues to feel tight, warm, or dry the following morning, another application is entirely appropriate. There is no upper limit on how often you can apply after sun lotion, so err on the side of generosity, particularly for children and those with naturally drier skin.

Is the Ambre Solaire After Sun Soother suitable for sensitive skin?
+

The Ambre Solaire After Sun Skin Soother is formulated to be gentle on sun-exposed skin, but individuals with known skin sensitivities or allergies should always check the full ingredient list on the packaging before use. If you or your child has eczema, psoriasis, or a history of contact dermatitis, we recommend consulting your GP or dermatologist before introducing a new skincare product, and performing a patch test before widespread application.

Does after sun lotion stop skin from peeling?
+

Regular and generous application of after sun lotion helps to maintain the skin's moisture levels after sun exposure, which can reduce the severity of peeling that sometimes follows overexposure. However, if the skin has been significantly sunburned, some peeling is a natural part of the healing process. Keeping the skin well hydrated with a soothing lotion such as the Ambre Solaire Skin Soother can make the recovery process more comfortable, but the best approach is always to prevent overexposure with good sun protection in the first place.

Can I refrigerate my after sun lotion?
+

Whilst the product is not designed to be stored in the refrigerator long-term, many people find that chilling after sun lotion before application enhances the cooling effect on warm skin, which can be particularly soothing after a hot day. If you choose to refrigerate your after sun lotion, ensure the cap is securely closed and use it within the period indicated on the packaging. Do not freeze.
