sunny days at the beach require suntan lotion

I am a huge fan of the sun, but really dislike putting on suntan lotion. I know too much sun is bad for you, so I do it - I just don't like it. Suntan lotion turns whatever I am wearing orange, so I can only buy black or mostly black bathing suits and cover-ups. See? My skin makes it hard for me because it doesn't want it. I am a strong Polish girl that can get pretty darn tan during the summer months (and again I put it on because I know I should), I just hate spending the money and I really hate putting it on in front of people. I always try to leave enough time in the morning to apply because I do not enjoy rubbing myself down at the beach - and I also really dislike sand. I love the beach though and found out yesterday what a little lotion can do. I was at the beach for over five hours and didn't leave enough time in the morning to apply before we left, so I put it on when we got the beach and never put more on. I thought I was going to be a lobster when I got home, but instead I was golden brown. I have quite a base already because I have spent the last few weekends at the beach, but after that long I thought I was toast (literally, burnt toast). So, this is my hell yeah to my suntan lotion! I used my staple Coppertone 15 and it didn't disappoint - quite the opposite actually. It is the greatest suntan lotion ever and unless you're the kind of person that has to wear 50, you should use it. I also use specific lip sunblock, but I still haven't figured out my favorite kind. I think they are all great because they smell (and taste) like coconuts.
