Too much unprotected fun out in the sun can damage your skin. If your back has ever reddened, became sore and peeled after a long day at the beach you probably know what I’m talking about. Getting sunburns is definitely not a pleasant experience. Overexposure to ultraviolet rays over time can lead to premature skin aging, wrinkles or, at worst, cancer. For the better part of the last two decades, applying suntan lotions at the beach became a must. A good sunscreen should either absorb or deflect the harmful UVA and UVB rays and protect your skin. Let’s have a look at some of the top suntan lotions on today’s market.

  • Millennium Tanning Products produces a range of sunscreen products to be used on all types of skin, ranging from baby-softness to “not for the faint-hearted.” If you need quality suntan lotions for your whole family, you can safely use this manufacturer as a one-stop solution.
  • Designer Skin manufactures a range of professional tanning products. The philosophy behind their suntan lotions is “nutrition for the skin”, a motto that drives every single aspect of the business.
  • Australian Gold uses an enhancer in their range of suntan lotions to offer you a darker tan. Their products will protect your skin against UVA and UVB. The lotions also contain Aloe Vera and Vitamin E.

Suntan lotions can work for up to eight hours on your body. However, don’t simply rely on them for skin protection – they don’t do miracles. Don’t simply wear a sunscreen and believe that you can safely stay out in the sun for the whole day. If you have to go to the beach during peak sun hours (usually 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.) make sure you lie in the shade and wear a hat.
