Any kind of sun protection is for wusses - I take the sun like a man then use my bright red skin tone to assert my masculine dominance to potential predators in public.
I feel like sun tan lotion should be something else entirely. It feels like at that point we're joining forces with the sun more than anything, and I don't want that. A mutual relationship with the sun is sure to cause us to parish, and any phraseology that suggests such is out of the question. Personally the ones I know of best are sun block and sun screen, and I go with sun block. My affinity for Defago makes el bloqueador solar an attractive option, but I'll have to pass for now.
Me and the sun don't get along, I burn way too easily, genuinely got sunburnt in November once, in Ireland, like how is that even possible? _________________

It's suncream obviously but I hear it called (and have probably called it myself) sun tan lotion, which actually makes no sense. _________________ Shut up mate you're boring!
I've never heard an American call it sun cream, though I can't say I've ever discussed sun protection with anyone who isn't American.
I call it sunblock or sunscreen, I try not to call it tan lotion, because that really doesn't make any sense. Tanning lotion is like the opposite of sun protection. I guess "suntan lotion" is supposed to provide a "nice looking" tan while still protecting from the sun, but "tanning oil/lotion" is more likely to burn and harm the skin. Personally I don't get the whole phenomenon with tanning. What's the point of making one's skin a slightly darker shade? I suppose one who spends all their days inside on the computer wouldn't understand such things... _________________ 51 Washington, D.C. albums!
It's kinda necessary on the summer months... Tropical-ish weather makes it so that sun block is not an option but a necessity, if you don't want to lay in your bed moaning for a week. Also skin cancer and all that.
Most everyone around here calls it sunscreen, with sun tan lotion being the second most common. Never heard of sun "cream" before... _________________ My top songs of the 2010s
