The winter is well and truly behind us now, and thoughts are turning to going on holiday and long days out in the sun (well, hopefully). Even a small amount of sun can be harmful, and high quality skin protection, sunscreen and aftersun products are a must.
Out and about
One of the best sun creams in our view is the Aloe Sunscreen. Suntan creams need to have a high SPF (Sun Protection Factor) to be effective (the minimum you should use is SPF 15), but often they can be difficult to absorb. At SPF 30, the Aloe Sunscreen gives great protection and skincare because of its high aloe content, it goes on like an ordinary moisturiser and is quickly absorbed, resulting in a smooth even tan. It protects against UVA and UVB rays. I use it when out hill walking and I love the way it makes my skin feel smooth and soft without leaving a sticky film. It remains effective in water for up to 40 minutes and is a natural insect repellent. It’s great for kids, and for those with sensitive or problem skin, and it doubles up as an aftersun lotion as well. A little goes a long way, making it great value for money.
Here’s what Susan Farr of Leeds has to say about the Aloe Sunscreen:
“The sun cream is excellent. It left my skin smooth and well moisturised and protected me from the sun very well – I have a lot of eczema trouble with my skin and also a lot of allergies to ingredients in a lot of beauty products. I’ve been very pleased with this!”
Another great product is the Aloe Lips – as well as aloe vera, this comes with jojoba oil and petroleum jelly which soothes and moisturises dry lips.
Spray Aloe First on your hair before and after sunbathing to prevent dry and brittle hair. This is a water based version of Forever’s stabilised aloe vera gel, and is great for getting to all those hard-to-reach places. It’s also very soothing as an aftersun lotion and comes in a large 473ml bottle with trigger spray.
Aloe Sunscreen - £10.36
Aloe Lips - £2.42
Aloe First - £13.78
Aftersun products
If you do overdo it, it’s important to use something soothing and replenishing to give your skin the best chance of a speedy recovery, and aloe vera is excellent for this. One of my favourite products is Aloe First. Spray on liberally to soothe prickly heat, sunburn, rashes, bites and stings. The Aloe Vera Gelly - first aid in a tube – is also great for fast relief and quick healing of cuts, burns and abrasions.
For the highest percentage of pure stabilised aloe vera gel, the best way is to apply some of our Aloe Vera Gel – this is normally used as a drink, but with 98% pure aloe vera, it’s the closest thing to breaking open a leaf and using the inner gel as a soothing balm.
The Aloe Moisturising Lotion contains stabilised aloe vera gel, allantoin, apricot kernel oil and jojoba oil. It’s rich and soothing, and the elastin and soluble collagen keep your skin balanced after a day in the sun. It’s also a great base for makeup.

Aloe Vera Gelly - £10.36
Aloe Vera Gel - £17.62

A natural bronzed look all year round
But if the thought of exposing that winter whiteness is keeping you under wraps, the Aloe Sunless Tanning Lotion could be just the thing to get this year’s tan started. Mandy Parsons from Leeds has been very impressed with the results, so we’ve asked her to tell you about it in her own words.
“It’s easy to apply even though it is white in colour when it comes out of the tube. It also moisturises skin (unlike others which I have used which tend to dry out the skin more), and leaves my skin feeling soft. You only need a small amount to do a reasonable area. It states on the directions to re-apply every 4-5 hours at first, but I found that by putting on one application and leaving it for a day, I achieved a glowing look without having to re-apply every 4-5 hours. I have only ever put on two applications to start the bronzed look - one on first day and the second on the second day! I love the fact that it looks very natural - many people I haven’t seen for a while have asked if I had been away. A lot of people at work have also told me how healthy and glowing I look after using it.”
For best results, exfoliate thoroughly before applying – the Aloe Scrub contains round spheres of jojoba that work gently to cleanse and exfoliate, without being irritating or harsh. Concentrate on knees, heels and elbows, as colour tends to be darker where the skin is dry. Add a little moisturiser at this points to prevent colour build-up (the Aloe Moisturizing Lotion is great for this). Then apply the Sunless Tanning Lotion from head to toe, working it in firmly but quickly. Use a little less on the knees, heels and elbows. It shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes from start to finish. It doesn’t rub off on clothes, and has a pleasant fragrance.

Aloe Scrub - £10.93
