Sunday Sun Day Volume IX: Sun Bum Cool Down Hydrating After Sun Gel Review

Sun Bum Cool Down Hydrating After Sun Gel is a wonderfully cooling Aloe Vera Gel based hydrating body product that is enriched with healing Vitamin E and Tea Tree Oil. Hopefully you don't get a sunburn, but if you do this is certainly a logical and fabulous go-to product that hydrates, soothes and nourishes sunburned and damaged skin. I try avoid getting sunburns at all costs, but have to say that I have been gleefully using Sun Bum Cool Down Hydrating After Sun Gel as a warm weather all over hydrating gel, and it is unbelievably refreshing, cooling and hydrating-- particularly when the weather heats up and I want my skin to cool down. I have tried it at room temperature and refrigerated, and during a heat-spell it will remain in the refrigerator for the maximum cooling benefits. The gel itself boasts the thickness of Aloe Vera Gel, and it sinks in quickly and effortlessly. There is no pronounced scent, but one can detect the faintest aroma from the Tea Tree Oil, but it lacks the full pungency of the full strength oil, and it disappears immediately following application.

I realize that storing this bottle in the refrigerator will result in the bottle getting used very quickly since my husband will no doubt use it liberally every time that he gets home from surfing, but that's fine with me!
