Now is the time of year when everybody has started to think about and book their summer holidays. When visiting somewhere hot, there are certain essentials that you need to remember to pack. These include Sun Cream, After Sun, sunglasses, hats, swimwear...the list goes on and on.
Last year when I was on holiday in the beautiful island of Tenerife, I discovered a new product which made all the difference to my sun kissed, (slightly burnt) skin...and that was Aloe Vera Gel.
I used the Aloe Vera Gel instead of the usual post sun reliever - After Sun, and it was so much better than what I was used to using. Unlike After Sun, the Aloe Vera Gel is a fast drying, non sticky product, which instantly soothes sun burn and reduces redness.
This product is so fantastic because it doesn't have to be solely used for sun burn, it can relieve many other types of skin irritation, ranging from a nasty rash to an unbearably itchy insect bite.
Aloe Vera Gel can be bought in many high street stores, including Boots and Holland and Barrett.

The best type of gel to buy is the one with the highest percentage of concentrated Aloe Vera, (as seen in the links above). These will usually contain around 99% of Aloe Vera concentrate, ensuring that you will be getting all of the goodness, without any unnecessary added ingredients.
It really is the best way to relieve sore, sunburnt and irritated skin...happy holidaying!
