Review of the Athletia Skin Protection UV Gel

When the weather is good and the sun is shining i love getting outdoors. So making sure I have a sun cream that’s going to keep me protected is very important. The Athletia Skin Protection UV Gel not only gives high sun protection but has also been developed for those active days out.

My Honest Review

This is a lightweight formula that applies nicely to the skin, doesn’t leave any white cast and feels comfortable to wear – no sticky or greasy residue. I also like the fact that the Athletia Skin Protection UV Gel can be used on the face and body.

Although this is called a ‘UV Gel’, the texture is actually more like a creamy lotion then like your typical gel. It applies well on top of the rest of my skincare products and under my foundation. There was also a lovely refreshing scent to this suncream.
