Just want to point out the fact that this was not even an impulsive buy.More like a sheer mistake which occured when my daily moisturiser got over & in extreme urgency I had to pick out the first recogniseable product I saw from the shelves.
The Nivea sun range generally consists of lotions & sprays required to keep our skin healthy during the summer & includes self-tanners,sunblocks & after sun creams.Nivea sun's Moisturising After Sun lotion is advertised as a cooling moisturiser which eliminates the heat & tiredness we all experience after returning home from a looong day of being outside with the Big Guy burning furiously over our heads.Although if you're aware of the tanning culture going on in the Western world,you'd know that after sun soothing lotions are generously applied to enhance a tan.It doesn't say so on the package,but does so on Nivea's website.
This moisturiser is packaged with aloe vera & avocado oil to cool the skin & vitamin E which provides suppleness.Aloe gel is widely used in after tan lotions to soothe & calm sun burnt or overexposed beach bodies(we all know foreigners tend to go overboard with their sunbathing ritual).
The liquid itself chills your skin instantly & is pretty light,so it gets absorbed quickly.Unfortunately,my body is very dry & requires a high cream content to moisturise my skin.This product can't substitute your daily body lotion,but is good for just slathering on yourself after a sun-sand-&-surf day or high temperature work out sessions(especially after leaving the bottle in the fridge).
The product is semi-pricey at R.O.1.200 i.e. Rs.120 for a 200 ml bottle & yes,Nivea's new product design is meh.It does help if you want to hit your partner with it during a squabble though.
Final grade- B+ if your into tanning or really require it,but C+ as an everyday essential
FYI-Product contains parabens
