Sunscreen and self tanners for healthy, gorgeous skin 

Protect yourself from UV rays with sunscreen that suits your skin type and activity level. Self tanners let you achieve a radiant glow without excessive sun exposure, while high-SPF sun block lets you enjoy outdoor pursuits without worrying about sunburns or sun-induced skin damage. Find sunscreens for all ages at Walmart Canada. 

Reliable sunscreen options 

When you're heading outside on a sunny day, sunscreen with a high SPF is essential. Lotions and creams spread on easily for consistent application, while spray sunscreens are easy to use and offer a lightweight feel. Look for a broad spectrum formula that protects against both UVA and UVB rays. Lotions that dry clear help prevent white streaks on your face and body, while organic sunscreens let you avoid specific ingredients without sacrificing effective protection from the sun. 

Sun protection designed for your face helps create a gentle barrier that doesn't clog pores, and many brands make matching formulas for face and body. Consider also using a moisturizer or foundation makeup with an SPF of 15 or more for additional protection on sunny days. For people who tan easily, a suntan lotion or oil can help enhance the bronzing effect. 

Sun protection for babies and kids 

Infants and children need extra protection from sunlight, and sunscreens designed for kids keep little ones protected without irritating sensitive skin. Kids and baby sunscreens typically use gentle, effective ingredients, and many are made with physical sun blockers, such as zinc oxide, that sit atop the skin instead of sinking deep under the surface. Seek out formulas without added colours or fragrances to potentially reduce the risk of a reaction. Sunscreen sticks let you apply protection without making a mess, and the solid consistency prevents leaks or drips in your travel bag or beach tote. 

Sports and waterproof sun block 

Whether you're spending the day swimming at the pool or playing beach volleyball, sweat and water can wash away your sunscreen and leave you exposed. Waterproof sun block and sports sunscreens are designed to keep you protected through all of your outdoor adventures. Some formulas withstand an hour or more of physical exertion or immersion under water, and these lotions lock in place once applied to potentially prevent leaking or dripping into your eyes. In addition to protecting your skin with sun block during outdoor exercise, use a lip balm with SPF to prevent sun and wind from chapping your lips. 

Sunless tanning lotions 

Getting a gorgeous glow without sun exposure is easy when you have self tanners. Sunless tanning sprays, lightweight tinted mousses and self tanning lotions deposit a light layer of pigment with each use, so you can add a little colour each day to mimic a naturally developing tan. Some self tanning formulas are made specifically for the face or body to ensure an even tone from head to toe. 

Post-sun skin care 

Sometimes sun exposure is inevitable, but you can ease the burn with after sun skin care that soothes and treats irritated skin. Aloe-based formulas sink deep into your skin to help ease pain and hydrate your damaged skin. Applying a post-sun lotion or gel after sun exposure could also help reduce peeling and get your skin back to normal quickly. For deeper after-sun skin care, medicated gels include ingredients that encourage healing.
