Liz Earle Sun Shade Botanical Aftersun Gel
If, like the handbag.com beauty team, you can\'t resist a sun lounger once the great British summer hits, ie, the few days of scorching sun that we experienced recently, then firstly, shame on you! No really, do some damage control and drench your poor parched skin in aftersun. We\'ve put five to the test and here are the results.
Liz Earle Sun Shade Botanical Aftersun Gel
"Like most of us, once the first glorious sunny day hits I\'m bathing in it - skin damage be damned! A non-sticky formula that dries quickly, this aftersun also has a cooling and calming effect, plus anti-oxidants to help counteract the damaging effects of the suns rays. Perfect for reviving sun-parched, hot skin."

L\'Occitane Aftersun Balm

L\'Occitane Aftersun Balm
"This creamy lotion smells amazing, it\'s slightly sweet but also refreshing which is just what you want after a day in the sun. It seriously hydrated my dry skin with the Brazilian vegetable butters, and left it soft for hours. I loved it so much I\'ve ended up using it even when I haven\'t been in the sun."

Korres Yoghurt Cooling Aftersun

Korres Yoghurt Cooling Aftersun
"This incredibly moisturising aftersun came to my rescue after too many hours spent making the most of the British summer. It absorbed into my skin quickly and easily and left behind a cooling, tingly sensation which felt great on my hot, parched skin. The smell was a little sweet to be perfect but other than this, top marks!"

Nivea Cooling Aftersun Spray

Nivea Cooling Aftersun Spray
"Nivea sun cream is a must-have in my holiday beach bag and now I am going to be pairing it with this lightly fragranced aftersun. Being a spray it sunk in really quickly and didn\'t leave a greasy feeling on my body or hands, just really soft, refreshed skin. Plus, it took the heat out of slightly burned skin - oops!"

Clinique Aftersun Rescue

Clinique Aftersun Rescue
"This balm left my hot skin deeply hydrated and feeling soft and soothed instead of dry and hot. The soothing aloe certainly calmed down any pink bits from an over-enthusiastic bout of sun-bathing in the mini heat wave and helped to prevent peeling."
