You know what I mean--those aerosols that you spray on your body and they keep you cool.
Are they worth the money and are they any good for cooling sunburn?

haha i thought that they just contained water..like when you get in a cold shower it cools you down..the same sort of thing..no?
Have a look here.
i find just cold water in a spray bottle works fine
i bought one last summer for a trip and it was really expensive and didnt work, i recommend a big bottle of water and just stand outside and tip it over yourself, you look a bit silly but it works.
Is it not something like, the fine spray of water on your skin evaporating in the heat and thus cooling you down?
If that sounds about right then just a spray bottle with tap water would work just as well as those expensive canned ones.
You can buy empty bottles in Boots that I'm sure that would do the trick!
My sister suffers terribly with heat rashes, more than anyone else I know. She finds cooling sprays, such as Magicool, work better than just water - the results last longer and seem to soothe the skin more. I tried it on sunburn a few weeks ago and have to agree the cooling effect lasts longer than water. But I'll be sticking to a water spray - if I get sunburn it's my own fault for not putting enough suncream on. Aftersun lotion is best for sunburn - keep it in the fridge and it's lovely!
