First Impressions: Nivea Sun Cooling After Sun Spray

NIVEA Sun
Cooling After Sun Spray

Cooling and easily absorbed

Cooling and refreshing, this easily absorbed light formulation with Aloe Vera helps to restore your skin moisture loss. Enriched with Provitamin B5 NIVEA SUN After Sun Spray soothes the skin. Vitamin E protects against premature skin ageing.

Since we’re on the topic of beach trips and all, of course, I’ll be making use of this time to get some tanning done. I’ll make sure to pack the oil spray for that and the moisturising sun spray for periods wherein it’s too hot but I’m still outside. Heh. However, I came across this Nivea Sun product that peaked my curiosity, the Cooling After Sun Spray with aloe vera. So, yea, I’ll throwing it in my overnight bag.

AND since I am going to use it this weekend, I thought it best to talk about my initial thoughts on the product. I’m actually trying to imagine what it can actually do, based on its description.

We all know that the skin can get a really hot after prolonged exposure to the sun. It can be that you’re playing beach volleyball, making sandcastles or like what I normally do when I’m on the beach, just lie around and get my tan. Hehe. It doesn’t help that I live in a tropical country where the climate/weather is usually warm and humid. Gah. That’s one part of the whole beach thing that I’m not really looking forward to.

I reckon it’ll be a real treat to use a “cooling after sun” spray. A bit on the luxury/vanity side of skincare I think cuz when it comes to cooling down, wouldn’t it be more practical, and not to mention FREE, to use water? Granted that this has ingredients — like it has provitamin b5 and vitamin E — that will help condition and protect your skin, we’ll soon see just how effective it’ll be. I guess this works if you’re getting out of the sun but are not going back to the room just yet. What do you guys think?

The scent of the spray is sooo Nivea. Most of their lotions/creams smell like it. It’s not bad but it does gives one license to classify it like how you’d recognize if one is using coppertone lotions. Know what I mean?

As for the packaging, I like the easy-grip bottle and the dispenser. It makes the whole process of product application in cooling down your skin easier and more efficient. It’s the same looking bottle/dispenser as the moisturising sun spray only it’s sporting a light shade of blue.

Important Usage Instructions:
Spray onto the skin after sun exposure and smooth in evenly. Avoid contact with the eyes. Shake well before use!

I’m excited to give this product a go. I hope it won’t disappoint. Watch out for the full review.
