Hawaiian TropicWeightless Hydration After Sun Lotion 6 Oz.

We all love to tan during the spring and summer months. No doubt, a tan makes people look fabulous. The problem, aside from possible skin damage, is that a tan will only last briefly for some people. There is more to getting and maintaining a great tan than lying in the sun.How nicely you tan is greatly determined by your genetics. We would all love to have a beautiful tan, like George Hamilton, the late Farrah Fawcett, and Cara Delevigne. But genetics may keep us from reaching such tanning excellence. Still, we should make the most of what we have. Tanning takes skill and work. First, exfoliate. Spend some time before tanning and remove the dead skin cells on the surface. Next, use a low SPF lotion. An oil type works nicely. Tan briefly, tan slowly. You do not want a sunburn. Take your time. Start with a few minutes, say fifteen minutes per side at first. Fifteen minutes for the front, and the same for the back. You can do 20-30 minutes if you have historically tanned easily. The time also depends on the intensity of the sun. For no cloud cover, keep your time to about 20-25 minutes per side. Tan on alternate days. Take a shower to remove the tanning oil. Pat yourself dry. And then apply this Hawaiian Tropic Moisturizer. You want your skin to be in the best shape possible.This is a great after-sun moisturizer. Hopefully, you will not need the Aloe in the ingredients. That stuff is for soothing sun irritated skin. You want to avoid sun irritation. That is why you are doing this tanning slowly. Give your skin time to adjust to the sun. By keeping your time to 15 to 25 minutes, you may be able to avoid a sunburn. Sunburn is your enemy. Fairer skinned people, those who turn red and freckles easily, should probably not try to tan at all. Anyway, this great Hawaiian Tropic lotion is one of the tools you will use to get and maintain that awesome tan.Long ago, Hawaiian Tropic made an Aloe gel to use as an after-sun care soother. I do not see it in their product line. Perhaps it was discontinued. That too, if you can still find it, should be part of your tool box. Just in case you do get a sunburn. It was great stuff. The smell was wonderful and the gel format cools the irritated skin. It worked for soothing insect bites and minor skin irritations. Women have told me that they used it to soother their skin after shaving. Well, that product is no longer available. At least, not to my knowledge. This product, Hawaiian Tropic Silk Hydration is the next best thing. It will do the same thing. Besides, some people do not like using gels.Use this product after a bath to maintain your skin's moisture balance. It will work as a regular moisturizing lotion. This is great during the winter months when the indoor air humidity can dry out your skin. That is not good for your tan. It's not good for your skin, tanned or not. This lotion can help you stay moisturized.I have heard people say taking Copper and Tyrosine supplements help during tanning. Tyrosine also helps with focus and attention. Do your research on copper supplements. Generally, the healthier and more fit you are, the better results you will get from tanning. I have tried Tyrosine and have not noticed the difference. I tan easily. Perhaps you should avoid taking a lot of supplements. Just make sure your skin is properly moisturized for the entire summer and take your time. Do not hurry the process. Give your skin and your body the time to adjust to the sun. Tanning should help your body with regards to Vitamin D. So do not overdose on vitamins. Drink plenty of fluids while tanning. Never allow yourself to get dehydrated.The main enemy to getting a great tan are genetics, sunburn, and dehydration. You can control two of the three. There is a technique and an art to tanning. Use of the effective oils and lotions can help you achieve a lovely tan.Highly recommended.

I really like this lotion. I am incredibly particular with my lotions and I absolutely hate feeling sticky or greasy after using a lotion. The solution soaks into your skin very very quickly. It smells good and leaves your skin well moisturized. I started using it every time I get out of the shower, especially after shaving. It makes my skin feel soft and not itchy at all, which I always feel itchy. I have not use this lotion during the winter yet, I am a little skeptical with how well it would moisturize during the dry weather with how quickly it soaks in, but overall honestly I’m going to make sure I always have this lotion on hand. It does have a very strong smell, I like it, it is nice, but if you do not want a lingering tropical odor you may not love this. I must add that this company also makes the only tanning oil and suntan lotion I will use

This lotion is surprisingly lightweight. I would not describe it as a deeply moisturizing lotion, but it's perfect for hot, humid summer weather. The fragrance is amazing, it's very floral and soft but not overwhelming. It is a tad sticky when first applied but it absorbs quickly. I highly recommend!

I love this after sun lotion! Hawaiian Tropic better keep this stuff available forever! I do have an olive tone skin and tan well, but I do burn. I have two relatives who own pools and go to the beach several times a year, plus I love to work in the yard. That being said, this is the only after sun product I have tried that moisturizes and soothes at the same time. The scent is heavenly! It is tropical without smelling like tanning lotion. I use this after being in the sun at the first sign of pink or burning. I feel this product keeps my peeling minimal to none and extends my tan. I use it after showering in place of my regular lotion for about a week after burning. When I am going to be in the sun for long periods several days in a row, I will use it even if I do not burn as a tan extender and a al.ost burn preventative. It seems the moisture really help keep my skin healthy after I put it through too much exposure.

I’m obsessed with this stuff. As far as the “aftersun” aspect of it, it’s just okay. As someone who gets burned A LOT, I’ve had better after sun products. However, this stuff smells AMAZING. I love the smell so much and went through a half a bottle in a week. It is moisturizing and it doesn’t make me oily, which I appreciate in an aftersun product. 8/10

I’ve been using this multiple times a week for multiple years. Not only is it very soothing, cooling and good for sensitive skin, it’s also very moisturizing. It’s great for sunburn, but I mainly use it to help the scarring on my skin from acne. A friend of mine told me how much it worked on her scarring and I had to try it. Three years later and I’m still using it! I don’t know why, but it works on scarring pretty well and is great for dry skin. I use it as a primer for my makeup sometimes as well because it diminishes the appearance of dry patches on my skin. It also lasts a very long time, a little bit goes a long way with this product. Absolutely worth the purchase!

Sadly, my daughter and I both were sunburned in sunscreen neglected areas after her first track meet.Like all good sunburn healers, we applied aloe Vera gel. Of course this cooled and I’m sure healed as well. But the sting returned pretty quickly.Before bed, I didn’t want to go downstairs to get the aloe, so we used this. (I had bought it for its amazing smell! Coconut and flowers).We both reported that our sunburns didn’t bother us during sleep and were not stingy in the morning.I was pleasantly surprised!However, I am not an expert, nor do I know the actual chemical process of treating a sunburn.Based on my own personal results, I will continue to use this!(My husband wants me to add that because of the smell, he wouldn’t use it though. Lol!)
