Press Sample (Affiliate Links)

Hawaiian Tropic has been making sunscreen for generations, and I remember using their sunscreens when I was just a kid. Therefore, for me there is always a level of nostalgia associated with their products. However, their range has expanded considerably and the technological advances that they employ have certainly resulted in even better products than I remember using as a child. They have so many wonderful products to get you through the warm summer months from sunscreens to after-sun moisturizers. Here are a few that are in my current rotation:

1) Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Clear Spray Sunscreen Ultra Radiance SPF 15 ($9.99 for 6oz. from Amazon): Hawaiian Tropic® Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance Clear Spray offers all the triple-enhancement of the sunscreen lotion, but in a quick and easy spray application. It not only protects, softens, and leaves skin glowing, its ultra-conditioning formula, with a hint of sheen, leaves your skin soft and luminous.

If you are a fan of sunscreen sprays, then Hawaiian Tropic has a great selection from which to choose. Their Sheer Touch Clear Spray Sunscreen Ultra Radiance applies evenly and easily, and it leaves skin soft and moisturized, but never greasy. It has a lovely tropical scent that lingers on the skin for a little while, and it leaves skin with a lovely luminous glow. If you are planning on playing in the sun, this formula is water-resistant for a little over an hour, and it comes in an SPF of 15 or 30. I would definitely opt for the higher SPF, if you plan to be outside for any length of time, and of course would reapply it frequently.
