Amazon shoppers are praising an £5 anti-chafing gel they swear is a "god send" for warm weather or when heading off on holidays. With the warmer weather picking up, many people will be searching for ways to avoid chafing due to the heat.
Chafing is a common problem, especially in hot weather, causing painful skin tears. Anti-chafing cream is ideal to protect and moisturise the skin, as well as offer protection while doing sporting activity such as running.
Amazon shoppers think they've found the solution with the Glamza Chamois Cream Chub Rub’ Anti Chafing Cream, which is currently on sale for £4.85, down from £5.85. According to the product description, the cream "creates a non greasy natural gliding layer which actively works to reduce friction."
Shoppers are advised to apply the cream generously on the parts of your body that chafe the most, such as feet, inner thighs and underarms. After that, you can even apply another layer for good measure, then wait about 15 minutes and put on your clothes.
The product has racked up a four star rating online, having racked up many rave reviews. Among them, one person said: "Smells good. You need to reapply it, but it works magic!"
