The process whereby your skin color is darkened or tanned after exposure to the ultraviolet (UV) radiation from the sun is called Sun Tanning. Many people deliberately tan their skin by exposing them to the sun. However, nowadays, due to the harmful UV rays, people use artificial sources such as tanning bed to get their skin tanned. They also use sun tanning products, such as tanning lotion that will produce a tanning result without any exposure to UV rays.
Some exposure to the sun is beneficial as it helps in the production of vitamin D within the body but too much of it is harmful to one’s health such as sunburn and skin cancer. When skin exposure to the sun is unavoidable, people apply sunscreen or sunblock lotion. Some people get sunburn more easily than others as this is mainly due to the skin types and natural skin color. For example, people with fair skin are usually more prone to sunburn.
Some people want to apply sun tanning lotion because they wanted a suntan but do not want to be exposed to the sun for health reasons. Others use sun tanning oil to accelerate the tanning process.

Just like many things, whether it is food or products, we need to know when they will expire. Nowadays, most sunscreen will have its expiry date printed on the packaging. For any product that do not have any expiry date stated on it has is having a promotional offer, I will give that a miss. There is no point in getting a good bargain and getting something that is no longer effective.
Through some reading and TV shows, it was said that the guide for the sunscreen to expire is about one year. Do not place your sunscreen in a hot area as this will only speed up the expiration of the product. Even if the product has not reach expiration date and it no longer smells the same or has the same texture, please discard them as these are signs showing you that they have changed its quality already.
