‘Best buy of the summer’ shoppers say snapping up tanning accessory ahead of the heatwave & it will keep you cool
WITH the recent spell of sunny weather, shoppers are racing to pick up a must-have garden item ahead of summer.
If you want to top up your tan or read your book with a drink in hand, this may be the product for you.
One shopper took to TikTok to show off the “tanning pool” they picked up from Amazon ahead of the summer.
Sydney Slone, who posts under @sydneynicoleslone, said her video should be “a sign” for people to buy one for themselves.
She added that it was “simply the best purchase” she had made ahead of the summer.
Amazon has a number of inflatable options that could be perfect for cooling down in your garden or on your balcony.

One of the options is their £34 Sloosh Inflatable Tanning Pool Lounge Float, which is 1.78metres long.
The float has an inflatable base for “extra comfort” and there are even two drink holders so you don’t have to stand up too often to stock up supplies.
There is also a removable headrest and a “ribbed air cushion base” so you can be comfortable while you read or snooze.
Thanks to the extra large size, you can spread out on the tanning lounger or share it with a friend as it holds two people.
According to the listing, the pool is made from a 0.3mm-thick “heavy-duty and UV resistant PVC” material to prevent it ripping.
Many people have left the product a five-star review after snapping one up.
One person wrote: “I love this thing! I’m a huge tanner but prefer to be at home I stay cool and comfy with this.
“Amazing product so happy I got one.”
Another added: “One of the best summer purchases I’ve ever made.”
And a third commented: “So perfect for tanning!
"The blow up pillow it comes with is so cute & so useful! It’s perfect for laying in the grass & holds water well!
“A lot more comfortable than I thought it would be!”
The Importance of SPF
WITH summer finally here, here's everything you need to know about SPF.
1. Protects Against UV Radiation:
- SPF shields your skin from harmful ultraviolet (UV) rays, specifically UVA and UVB rays, which can cause sunburn, premature aging, and increase the risk of skin cancer.
2. Reduces Risk of Skin Cancer:
- Regular use of SPF can significantly lower the risk of developing various types of skin cancer, including melanoma, which is the most dangerous form of skin cancer.
3. Prevents Premature Aging:
- UV exposure accelerates the aging process, leading to wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots. SPF helps maintain youthful skin by blocking these aging effects.
4. Maintains Even Skin Tone:
- Sun exposure can cause hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone. Using SPF regularly can help prevent these issues, leading to a more even and radiant complexion.
5. Essential for All Skin Types:
- Regardless of skin type or tone, everyone is susceptible to UV damage. SPF is crucial for all skin types to maintain healthy skin and prevent damage.
6. Everyday Necessity:
- UV rays can penetrate through clouds and windows, making daily SPF application essential, even on cloudy days or when indoors.
