Hawaiian Tropic Products --Here Comes Summer a Little Early!

When I think of Summer, I think of cool drinks, cool shades, beach balls, and of course, suntan lotion. When I think of suntan lotion, one of the popular brands that always comes to mind is Hawaiian Tropic.

It doesn't have to be Summer to need SPF protection--you should wear it wherever you are exposed, every single day of the year! But it also doesn't have to be Summer to use Hawaiian Tropic products, as I recently discovered. The brand has plenty of products other than their suntan lotions.

One product that I recently tried that protects your lips, no matter what time of year, is the The Hawaiian Tropic Aloha Kiss Lip Gloss Island Berry srp. $5.35 by Playtex. It comes in a squeeze tube and it adds lots of shine and a slightly red tint, but it doesn't just look good. It tastes like ripe berries, and it moisturizes lips with a powerfully-effective mix of Aloe Vera, Cocoa Butter and Vitamins A, C & E. But the main reason to use it is to protect your lips against the sun's damaging rays, with an SPF 20!

The waterproof formula has Hawaiian Tropic's "Sun Sure" technology that helps keep the protection lasting longer, although the silky feel and berry flavor may have you licking your lips more often, anyway! In the water, the lip gloss will retain it's SPF protection up to 80 minutes. The key ingredients are Avobenzone 2.0% Octocrylene 4.0% and Oxybenzone 3.0% . Why let your lips get old, dry and possibly, damaged when you can slick on this slightly red-tinted gloss and look gorgeous, while protecting them? This product won the The Skin Cancer Foundation Seal of Recommendation, too!

Another Hawaiian Tropic product that isn't for sun protection, but can definitely make you feel much better after a day of baking in the sun, is the Hawaiian Tropic Body Butter srp. $6.43 8 oz. This jar of creamy lotion has the strong, delicious scent of coconut that makes me feel like Summer's here, even though I'm still wearing a coat! The whipped feel is light and fluffy and fun to slather on your body (it absorbs quickly). Actually, with the coconut scent and silky feel, it's pretty sexy (the perfect thing to rub on each other...) so you can heat things up, and do a good thing for your skin at the same time. Moisturization lasts for up to 12 hours and helps you maintain a tan, too.

Key ingredients in this product are exotic coconut fragrance, with Aloe & Shea Butter, cocoa butters, avocado oil, exotic, natural flora and fruit extracts, and an exclusive Vitamin A, C & E Complex.

For those who feel that Summer can't come soon enough, this product will help your mind as well as your body. For everyone else (including anyone reluctant to moisturize on a regular basis because it isn't any fun), it's simply a good moisturizing product that will encourage us to have better skin!
