Then return to the store before spending your hard earned cash.

 

Most of the top rated sunscreens are quite pricey, so all things considered , I have decided to make my own. The basic ingredients are readily available Zinc Oxide , a good quality carrier oil. (I prefer sesame oil, which is a potent antioxidant, and will neutralize free radicals which build up under the skin from exposure to sun) , olive and coconut oil are also good choices and a few other ingredients.

 

Just do a query on any search engine and enter " recipe zinc oxide sunscreen"  and you will find a lot of recipes.

 

The first rule of using sunscreen is that it should be applied about half an hour before going outside, to allow it to penetrate the skin and begin to work. Now, grab a wide brimmed hat and enjoy a sun filled summer.
