Whether you're lounging in the garden or jetting off abroad, many of us will be catching tans as we enjoy the summer sunshine - but all it takes is a missed spot with the sunscreen and painful sunburn can put a dampener on things.
Fortunately, there are a lot of after-sun skincare products on the market designed to soothe your skin, helping to quickly ease the hot and uncomfortable feeling that comes with sunburn. And a bestselling range over at Boots has been earning rave reviews recently for its ability to cool down skin that has spent too long in the sun.
The range in question is Boots' own Soltan brand - with an after-sun body butter getting the highest rating of the lot based on feedback from shoppers. Priced at £4.55, the Soltan Soothe & Moisturise Aftersun Body Butter is enriched with aloe vera and is formulated to soothe the skin, helping to prevent peeling while providing intense 24-hour moisturisation.

The body butter has an impressive rating of 4.9 out of five stars overall according to over 40 reviews from Boots shoppers, with nobody giving it lower than four stars. "It really helped my burnt shoulders," one customer said.
Another impressed shopper wrote: "Best after-sun product out there - and really affordable/good value for money."
"Absolutely lovely after-sun cream," someone else added. "I used it on my daughter's shoulders that were starting to peel, it was very hydrating and cleared it all up within a few uses - and the smell is gorgeous."
Another reviewer remarked: "I think this a really luxurious feeling product for a reasonable price. The smell is divine and it makes your skin feel lovely and not sticky or greasy afterwards. I use it even when I don't have sunburn. Lovely!"
And a different shopper penned: "Absolutely love the smell and feel of this body butter. Really cooling and soothing on the skin and helped settle my skin after too much sun. Will be buying this in future as it's great!"
Finally, another glowing review read: "This by far the best after sun I have ever used. It beats the big brands by a mile. It instantly cools and soothes and doesn't need applying as much as others I’ve tried. Will definitely buy it again."
Other after-sun variations in the Soltan Soothe & Moisturise range include a spray for £3.89, a lotion for £3.89 which is also available in a mini travel size, or a sheet mask for £2.50. Boots is also offering shoppers a free gift in the form of a Disney water bottle when they buy two or more selected Soltan products.
Another after-sun bestseller at Boots is the Piz Buin Aftersun Tan Intensifier, which has an average rating of 4.8 out of five stars based on more than 70 reviews from shoppers. It does come with a heftier price tag at £8 - but you can get it £2 cheaper for the same size bottle on Amazon, where it's also listed as a bestseller.
