Natural Sunscreen Recipe - I love summer and I love to sunbathe but it's so dangerous, especially if you don't wear a sun protector cream/lotion/oil with a sun factor of at least 15. Lots of people believe that they look more attractive with a tan. It’s true that a little colour can make you look healthier, so why not opt for a fake tan, as there is a huge selection to choose from.
Exposure to the Sun is dangerous. Use common sense, don’t do anything silly, always avoid any over-exposure to the sun.
Never sunbathe in direct sunshine
Never sunbathe at midday : the sun’s rays are not as strong before 10.30 am and after 3pm
Wear a sun-hat to protect your head
Wear sunglasses to protect your eyes

After Sun Recipe
The following recipe will NOT protect your skin against the sun's rays but will help to nourish and condition it after exposure, minimizing immediate discomfort and long-term damage.
So here we go..... Rose oil is good for after- sun intensive moisturizing, as it helps to improve the skin's natural elasticity. Jojoba oil is very easily absorbed by the skin, leaving a soft, non-greasy base for make-up.
