Pudding served with a French skin lotion (8)

I believe the answer is:

aftersun

'skin lotion' is the definition.
(lotion applied after being in the sun)

'pudding served with a french' is the wordplay.
'pudding' becomes 'afters' (both can mean dessert).
'served with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a french' becomes 'un' ('a' in French).
'afters'+'un'='AFTERSUN'

I've seen this clue in The Times.
