Garnier Ambre Solaire
Suncare Cycle

It’s important to take care of your skin all year round, but it’s especially important during the summer months when our skin is exposed to the sun more often. Taking care of your skin during summer extends beyond wearing sunscreen.

Step 1 Protect
Protect skin from UV rays

The Garnier Ambre Solaire Sun Protection range combines the latest advancements in sun filters with natural elements to deliver a new generation of suncare. Our unique patented photostable filters Mexoryl XL and SX, offer outstanding protection against UVA and UVB rays. Rich moisturising ingredients like cactus nutriflavones and pure vitamin E combine to form protective formulae that moisturise and effectively protect the skin from the damaging effects of over-heated skin and premature ageing. The dermatologically tested formulae are non-sticky, non-greasy and suitable for all skin types.

Choose which application is right for you:

SPF 15 - Ultra hydrating
This high protection milk is instantly absorbed without leaving white streaks.

SPF 30+ - For sun sensitive skin
This very high protection milk is specially formulated for sun sensitive skin.

Garnier Ambre Solaire’s suncare tips for summer

• Do not use a product that has been open for more than 12 months.
• Apply your protection cream before you are actually in the sun.
• Apply generously to your body and face without forgetting the nose, shoulders, ears, back of neck, feet and toes!
• Reapply every 2 hours (more frequently if you are swimming or playing sports).
• Seek shade between the hours of 10am and 2pm when UV rays are most extreme.
  

Step 2 Hydrate
Hydrate skin after sun exposure

The Garnier Ambre Solaire After Sun Hydrating Milk soothes and relieves overheated and dry skin. Enriched with Cactus extract, Shea butter and glycerol to lock in moisture and re-hydrate the skin for 12 hours after application, the After Sun Hydrating Milk is lightly fragranced, non-sticky and easily absorbed to help soothe the burning sensation of the skin.

Garnier Ambre Solaire’s suncare tips for summer
You should continue to use your After Sun Hydrating Milk during the month after exposure to the sun as the hydrating properties compensate for the drying effects of the sun.

Hints and tips for the perfect application

Preparation

• Make sure you exfoliate using Garnier bodytonic sugar scrub to remove dead skin cells.
• After exfoliating, apply Garnier bodycocoon intense hydrating lotion to your elbows and knees to ensure you don’t suffer tan build up in these dry areas.
• Avoid tanning hands - if you don’t have a tanning mitt follow these tips to ensure hands with colour but without the giveaway lines!
  1. When you apply the tanning products to your arms, make sure that you also apply to the back of your hands and your wrists, rubbing in carefully.
  2. When you have finished, wash your hands with soap and water, taking extra care to only wash your palms and between your fingers.
  3. With a towel, dry your palms and between your fingers and gently rub dry the back of your hands, as well as the inside of your forearms (anywhere the sun would not usually catch you!)

Maintain

• Gently exfoliate the skin regularly in order to keep the skins surface looking in top condition.
• Moisturise daily to keep skin soft, supple and radiant.
• For a natural-looking colour, we recommend you reapply your Garnier Ambre Solaire self-tanning products every couple of days.
