About this deal

You'll get tip top protection from UVA and UVB rays with factor 50 in this moisturiser and it's broad spectrum and waterproof. BY now, we all know that wearing an SPF everyday, come rain or shine, is a must for healthy, youthful looking skin. The SPF you should use will vary on your skin tone and may even change depending on the season. In the winter our skin can be chapped and dry, so you may decide to go for a deeper moisturiser with SPF in it. Also if you are pale then it's best not to go below factor 30 if you want to avoid getting sunburn. It also contains enzymes, which break down fatty acids and may, therefore, help with greasy scalps." The spiky succulent grows naturally in dry, tropical climates in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the southern and western parts of the US.

Still confused? As a general rule of thumb, opting for a broad-spectrum product of at least an SPF 30 is better for nearly all skin types. As an added bonus, the Aqua Gel primes the skin so also doubles up as a great base for make-up. What's not to love? And don't forget that health experts also recommend reapplying suncream every two hours of exposure, no matter your skin type. The pale green aloe vera lotion has a balm-like texture, and lightweight feel that instantly cools down irritated skin. It's also fragrance-free, which is great for anyone who's not keen on scents or has a sensitive nose.thanks tothebenefits of shea butter andorange blossom wax extracts.

Although skin moisturisers with SPF do provide sun protection, health experts suggest that they won't do it as well as a sun cream.

Marino also notes that aloe is one of nature’s best gifts for our overall skin and health because of its antiseptic, antibacterial, and alkalizing properties. It’s also a humectant that prevents water loss in the skin and can be used as an antioxidant to protect and repair tired, damaged skin. Why Use Lotion Aloe vera is effective when it comes to soothing and cooling the skin, which is why it’s associated with sunburn. It’s essential to use SPF all the time and avoid unprotected sun exposure where possible, but if the unspeakable happens and you’re caught out, it is a great at-home solution. When a cosmetic product harnesses a natural ingredient, it will use a concentrated version of the botanicals," explains Dr Shotter. "Using the gel from an aloe leaf will contain the same enzymes, vitamins and amino acids as the aloe extract in a product, but it will be less concentrated and so you are likely to need more of it."

What's the difference between an SPF moisturiser and sun cream?

It’s always important to assess what’s going on with your skin and if aloe will help (or hurt) your goals. According to aesthetician Melanie Grant, aloe vera is a “predominantly water-based succulent plant that has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties, making it a wound-healing hero and perfect for those experiencing redness and irritation.” She adds that it also shares the same pH as skin, which makes it gentle enough for those of us prone to irritation. People with dark skin are relatively more protected from UV radiation due to melanin, so, wearing a sunscreen with SPF 15 to 30 is likely to be sufficient. So what about aloe in skincare? Is this still effective or should we be looking for pure gels only? Grant suggests that for those who require constant soothing (such as after a sunburn), applying pure gel, like the nearly 100% aloe vera gel by Badger is a great solution as the skin will receive the direct benefits in the most potent form. As it heals the skin, itching is soothed, redness is minimized, and hydration is replenished.

Dr Phillips adds: "If you do react to aloe vera, you will notice an itching, burning sensation. If this occurs, ensure you rinse the aloe vera off with water immediately."

The gel within the aloe plants can be used on the face, body and scalp to help with skin concerns you may have, avoiding the delicate eye area," advises Dr Phillips. "It’s used in many products for sunburn relief, hair care, pore cleansing and skin moisturising." La Roche Posay's reputation as a top notch French pharmacy brand precedes it so it's no surprise that the Hyalu B5 Aqua Gel is a product that once tried, becomes a mainstay in anyone's skincare collection.

So unless you have a specific allergy or sensitivity, aloe is great if you want to soothe skin and reduce redness.If your skin is dry and you want extra hydration, look for other moisturizing ingredients along with aloe, like glycerin and camellia oil in Innisfree Vitalizing Soothing Gel or purslane in Dr. Barbara Sturm Aloe Vera Gel.Also known as the 'burn plant', aloe vera is commonly used in skincare products to aid sunburn and heat damage to our skin, due to its natural antiseptic properties." The clear gel that is inside the leaves can be taken directly from the plant," says Dr Phillips. It is this gel that’s commonly used in beauty products for its hydration and soothing properties.
