Why Not Wednesday? Mary Kay After Sun Replenishing Gel

Wild hair and little kid sunnies

I was fortunate enough to spend some time lounging at my parent's pool this past weekend. It was much needed relaxation. I grabbed a book and just shut out the world. After a while, I thought, well, I'll just put my book down and float around in probably the best float ever. Three hours later I woke up to dark clouds, swirling winds, and the realization that yes, I took a nap in the pool. I am guessing you have gathered from the title, that the sun wasn't so kind to this fair-skinned, freckled girl. What's even better... I fell asleep with my legs crossed, so only one leg is burnt on one side.

*Disclaimer: I DID use copious amounts of sunblock.

 I am an avid protester or extreme tanning and the use of tanning beds!*

Leg to Arm comparison- OUCH!

I thought I was in the clear, and I wouldn't be as burned as expected. Late evening rolls around, and I was miserable. I was so miserable I contemplated how I was going to wear pants or move around. I frantically searched the internet for ways to help relieve some of the pain. We tried vinegar, tea, tea bags, tea soaked towels, sacrifices to the sun, more tea- with no relief. The next day, it was even worse. (Thankfully, it was Sunday, and I decided to stay home- which means I didn't have to wear pants.) I remembered, from my old days of being a Mary Kay consultant, I had a bottle or two of the After Sun Replenishing Gel. I thought... Why not? 

What a relief. It instantly pulled the burning sensation/feeling from my body. I've used it pretty regularly, and so far, I have no signs of peeling. It also reduced the puffiness and overall ache of having a sunburn.

This is a cool blue gel that absorbs into the skin almost instantly. I am able to get dressed after applying- which isn't the case for most gel based products. It's not STICKY! Another plus. It contains botanical extracts filled with antioxidants to improve moisturzation. We all know the sun can leave you stripped of all teh vitals for vibrant skin. This product is designed to give you all that back, and more. NOTE: This is NOT sunblock or contain any SPF elements. 

This retails for $14.00 a bottle from any Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. You can check out the product here Mary Kay After Sun Replenishing Gel.
