suntan oil
Tropical skin slick
Suntan oil is a lotion or oil applied to skin during sun exposure.
Unlike sunscreen, which blocks ultraviolet rays, suntan oil typically offers minimal protection and may contain ingredients meant to accelerate tanning: She slathered on suntan oil and stretched out by the pool.
The term evokes beach culture and an era before widespread awareness of skin cancer risks.
