HAWAIIAN TROPIC NEW FOR SUMMER'15

Hi everyone,

I actually have been busy with a lot of other things this past week which is why I had no posts up except for last Monday. 
Moving on we are so close to summer now and even though it's not officially summer we definitely have been feeling it with the weather sitting in the high 20's. We all have to remember to protect our skin from the harmful uva/uvb rays so now it's even easier with Hawaiian tropics new offerings for 2015.


SHEER TOUCH CLEAR SUNSCREEN SPRAY
170G SRP. 10.99 CAD

This spray offers up the same benefits of a traditional lotion, but now in a quick and easy spray system. Your skin will be protected, softened and glowing with its ultra conditioning formula.

What can you expect from this sunscreen

• broad spectrum uva/uvb protection
• dermatologist tested
• non-greasy
• vitamin e infused
• can withstand 80 minutes of water activity
• subtle sheen so your skin seems lumiouns and soft to the touch
• tropical scent typical of Hawaiian Tropic

I love how you just spray and go with this product and no goopey lotion to deal with. This will be extremely helpful for reapplying at the beach where sand sticks to everything. I like that the spray nozzle is able to reach hard to get areas and there is no cap just a locking nozzle system (good thinking Hawaiian Tropic) My son loves getting the sunscreen spray down prior to going out and he says thats a lot more fun then be vigourously rubbed with annoying lotion and it's quicker so he can get to playing faster. This is a quick drying formula that protects, but doesn't leave the skin feeling tacky.

Just a small f.y.i.- DO NOT spray this near bare wood floor, besure to apply while standing on a towel or carpeted area. We initially sprayed this where it was bare floor and it was incredibly slipper after, so please be careful.

This will most definitely be a beach bag essential this summer, and it should be in yours as well.


SILK HYDRATION FACE LOTION SUNSCREEN SPF 30
50ML SRP $10.99

If you love the silk hydration ribbon lotion for body, then your going to love the new face lotion which I might add is a weightless matte formula that is non-greasy and hypoallergenic for the face which is suitable even for those a little more sensitive skined.

• SPF 30
• Hypoallergenic
• won't clog pores (big plus)
• oil free
• 12 hours of moisture
• 80 minutes in the water
• light tropical scent

My son loves this product every time we have ever put sunscreen on his face he complains it feels sticky and makes his eyes water, however this formula is creamy, glides over the skin easily, and non irritating to the youngsters skin. I like that it is light weight and matte which for me is a huge plus because my face gets so greasy during the summer months, so this is a great addition to our families sun care routine. The 50ml bottle may seem small, but you need very little product to accomplish the task, and a bottle will last you the whole summer maybe even into the next.

Both products are perfect for our family as we spend a lot of time outside during the summer months, so these are must haves for us. Also Hawaiian Tropic is a product that I have long associated with summer as I used it when I was a teenager hanging out by the pool or at the beach. As soon as I smell it be it the old dark tanning oil or now the skin protecting products this always remains my go too faves for summer.

BANANA BOAT EXPANDS SPORT PERFORMANCE COOLZONE SUNSCREEN LINE

Hi all,


Today I wanted to share with you that Banana Boat has now expanded their popular Sport Performance CoolZone sunscreen line to now offer SPF 30 & 50 lotion's in there existing line up.

For those not familiar this product is a fast absorbing crisp clean, somewhat manly sunscreen product. It is enriched with aloe so it leaves the skin feeling cool and comfortable. I did notice it has a slightly thinner consistency then other sunscreen, but still emollient. For people that don't like the heavy feel of more traditional sunscreen, then you will like this product.  When used as directed this product not only is sweat resistant, but is water resistant for a whopping 80 minutes. Be sure to always apply your sunscreen 15-30 minutes prior to sun exposure so that you reap it's full protection benefits against deadly UVA/UVB rays, which are harsher then ever. Also remembering that it is necessary to reapply as recommend on the bottle for full coverage on going.

Also returning to stores this summer is the Natural Reflect sunscreen line for the whole family. The lotions included are 100% natural minerals and are available in adult, kid and baby formulation all in SPF 50.

I have tested out the kids one on my child and what we both like is there is no strong fragrance as children don't need this in products that are being applied to their face and body. Also rest assured that this line is paraben, PABA and oxybenzone-free. You can have the pleasure of knowing this won't sting or cause tears if it gets near little ones eyes.

I was extremely thrilled to receive this parcel and was not expecting the large array of items and am very grateful to Banana Boats PR for sending this out to me. In the box I got a large sand pail and shovel, travel cup with spiral straw, All 3 of the Natural Reflect lotions and both of the brand new Sport Performance CoolZone lotions. This was incredibly generous, so thank you ever so much. My child has already had the pail and shovel out in the sand and uses the new cup everyday since we got it.

Pricing for the Sport Performance CoolZone is as follows

The new sunscreen lotion SPF 30 sug. retail price is $10.99
The SPF 50 lotion sug. retail is $11.99
and the same pricing structure applies to their existing sunscreen spray range.

As for the Natural Reflect sunscreen across the board is sug. retail of $11.99


So this summer give these new and previously released sunscreens a try and let me know in the comments if you love Banana Boat products too. If you want super gentle sun care for your face the Baby Natural Reflect is great because if you can put it on baby then your face will thank you too.
I love products that can be double duty:)

Hope you all enjoyed this post gearing everyone up for summer and have a great day

XOXO:)

Introducing Hawaiian Tropic Sheer Touch Ultra Radiance Sunscreen

Hi everyone,

So today i just want to make mention of an innovation from Hawaiian Tropic which is new to their lineup of products this year. The product is SHEER TOUCH ULTRA RADIANCE SUNSCREEN LOTION.

So what can you expect from this product??? Made with an innovative formula that contains guava, papaya and plumeria extracts, the new Sheer Touch product is an advance version of the previous one of the same name. This one offers special pigments that reflect light, thereby enhancing your skins natural glow, while leaving it soft and radiant.

This new line up comes in SPF levels 60, 45, 30 & 15 and will provide you with broad spectrum UVA/UVB protection. Also you can spend less time worrying about your sunscreen once it's on because it's oil free and water resistant.

The suggest price is $10.99


I have been using Hawaiian Tropics for years and for the most part it is my go to brand. This new sheer touch product is nice because it has a delicious summer tropical scent and absorbs quickly into the skin, but gently enhances the skin without being overdone. In my parcel I received  3 bottles with SPF 60, 45 & 30. I am actually sending one bottle to a friend and giving one as part of a year end gift for my child's teacher. I also got this super fun, summery cooler bag, great for holding drinks and snacks when heading for the beach.

HAWAIIAN TROPIC SELF TANNER, SUNSCREEN LOTION, AFTER-SUN MOISTURIZER

If your lifestyle is anything like mine, I am outside a great deal of the time. I tend to tan very easily, but I am also not looking to end up with skin cancer. So aside from getting a base tan that generally happens early on in the spring, I like to follow up with a few products that can help give you a nice glow any time you want really. I also love having products that can protect my whole family and give our skin much needed moisture after a long day out side.

Hawaiian Tropic was generous enough to send me these lovely products to try and review and I am truly grateful, so THANK YOU HAWAIIAN TROPIC.

The first item is two self tanning lotions, one is medium and will make your skin 2 shades darker, the other is medium dark and will generate a 3 shade darker tone to skin.

ISLAND RADIANCE SELF TANNING LOTION IN MEDIUM OR MEDIUM DARK
(SRP.$10.99)

 

I have tried both shades and they both work for my skin tone. As I mentioned my skin already had some colour to it prior to use. However if you are very fair, be sure to take it easy with this product and work your way in to it. The medium will give you more then enough colour. Once you build with that then you may be able to move to medium/dark.

This product is very light weight and feels really nice on the skin. It does have a light botanical scent which is nice, but be advised that as it generates the colour on your skin you may notice a toasty smell occurring similar to that of after being in a tanning bed. If you have never been in one then you won't know the smell I speak of.

This self tanner will provide you with 12hr moisture, give you a fairly natural colour, but do use with care when working around toes, knees and ankle areas. I did notice a bit of orange happening, but nothing to bad. I also find as it fades around the inner elbow area it looks a little patchy, so you do have to be diligent about maintaining the colour unless you don't want to continue using the product. I find the best time to apply this is after my shower at night, then apply and by the next day you wake with a radiant glow.

I do recommend this product more for people with a naturally warmer skin tone. Even though everyone would love to benefit from a self tanner, I think this may be a little much on very fair skin. That's just my opinion and should not discourage you from trying it, if your heart is set on having a tan with out the help of the damaging sun.

SILK HYDRATION SUNSCREEN LOTION WITH SPF 50
(SRP.$10.99)
This sunscreen also comes in an SPF 30 which is more then adequate. There is some speculation that an SPF any higher actually has no greater benefit. This has yet to be determined.

 

 

Hawaiian Tropic products tend to have a nice coconut scent to it and this sunscreen is creamy and not greasy. It is also great for anyone who is a water lover, because your still protected as this product is waterproof. This is great for children who play a lot out doors during the summer months and because of the pleasant smell it will be easier to apply on little faces. Hawaiian Tropic sunscreen is lovingly infused with silk protein and shea butter for lasting hydration to the skin and feels silky upon application.

 

For ANY sunscreen to remain effective please be sure to apply 15-30 minutes before sun exposure. Reapply at least every 2 hours and especially after swimming, washing or excessive sweating.

 

last up today is

 

SILK HYDRATION AFTER SUN MOISTURIZER

(SRP.$9.99)

 

If you love rich moisture seeping into your skin and wrapping you in ribbons of aloe and leaving behind a delicious scent of coconut and papaya, then this after sun care will surely be a hit.

 

 

I love the texture of this because you get the creaminess of the lotion balanced by the light gel of aloe for a perfectly healing moisturizer. I am crazy about tropical scented products so this is worth the purchase to me. I would repurchase this after I run out. Also this particular product is suppose to provide you with 24hr moisture. I can't say for sure as I tend to shower twice a day during the summer, so I am often reapplying lotions.

 

I hope that you will all give something here a try. These products are extremely affordable and if used correctly can give you its multi benefits.

 

 

Hawaiian Tropic has been around for almost 45 years and I trust in this brand. I still often use the DARK TANNING OIL, but not because I am trying to tan I find it is a great product for moisturizing, and I discovered that it works wonders for around dry heels and around your finger nail cuticles.

The dark tanning oil has a very distinct smell that transports me back to my teenage years of the beach, being poolside and any other summer fun. The newer products definitely don't have the same smell, but are equally nice.

So layer on some Hawaiian Tropic products today, head to the beach and get ready to hang ten under the sun.

Take care and come back soon

STAY BEAUTIFUL XO
