We’ve picked out a cheaper one, and one of the more expensive best-sellers, to trial and give and honest verdict about which will get you the best value for money.
Save: Avene Thermal Spring Water Cooling Spray
This product is great for when the weather is just too warm. It’s a handy travel size so you can pop it in your bag and carry it with you all day. It’s so easy to apply, just point and spray over the bits that you need to cool and let it sit for a moment before patting dry. It instantly makes you feel cool and refreshed! But the thing I love most about this product is that it can be used all over your body and can be used on sunburn, rashes and other irritations! It’s perfect for sensitive skin as it won’t irritate it because it’s wonderfully gentle. I’ll be taking this everywhere with me this summer, and especially on my holidays! Get yours for £3.15 from Boots.
Splurge: Care Itch Eze Cooling Spray Gel
I wasn’t a massive fan of this product. I know it sounds petty but the bottle really frustrated me before I even used it. It kept getting my keys wrapped around and attached to it whilst it was in my bag due to the spray pump so I would have much preferred it without the pump and more like the Avene one. Secondly, it was a struggle to apply because it went everywhere! It wasn’t a mist that you could just spray over yourself, it was more of a liquid so you had be careful of where you were putting it and then it was run everywhere if you weren’t quick enough to rub it in. Although it did calm itching, you’re not allowed to put it onto broken skin or on your face which is unfortunate as you face is one of the places that you’ll want the relief when in the sun. Unfortunately this one wasn’t for me, but if you want to give it a go you can get yours for £7.49 from Tesco.
