Nobody talks about suntan oil anymore, right?

No, I think it's all sunscreen and maybe suntan lotion.

I never even hear suntan lotion; it's all sunscreen or, better yet, sunblock.

t edit But maybe not in Calli's part of the US.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I still say suntan lotion, but I am old school and not that interested in screening!

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.

Suntan lotion and bathing suit, sunscreen/block and swimsuit, yes?

Bathing suit, absolutely! (Or, in family-talk: baling suit.)

Since I need SPF 15 to even turn on an indoor light,* my default word is sunblock.

*(This is not actually true. I do, however, burn really quickly and really badly. Thank you, Germanic heritage.)

My Grandmother used to rub baby oil on herself and sit in the sun all summer.

I'm not sure where a Swedish/French woman got those tanning genes, but apparently she kept them all for herself.

I wasn't even thinking of how I was going to translate it yet--thanks for the semantic discussion in advance!
