Coconut & Carrot Sunscreen

The sun is a big star, a great source of energy to our planet. It influences human kind physical and mental health, generally enhancing humor by acting as a relaxation factor. Who doesn’t enjoy a sunny afternoon?!

As I mentioned before in an other earlier post, directly to your skin the sun helps you produce vitamin D, which will allow your digestive tract to absorb crucial minerals for your body, such as calcium. On the less positive side sun radiation can accelerate your skin’s aging process and has also the potential to be harmful, leading to a sunburn or ultimately to skin cancer. The only known way to prevent these damages, is to apply sunscreen on your skin. It’s crucial to do so every single day, even on cloudy days radiation is present.

Sunscreens are available in many stores, although you should select one that’s at least SPF 20, preferably with a creamy texture that absorbs quickly.

However you can make your own sunscreen, budget friendly that can reach SPF 40. My special DIY sunscreen is based on coconut and carrot seed oil. It’s the my favorite and very simple to make too.

 

 

Nevertheless if you’re going to the beach or intent to be by the pool, in an all day long sun exposure you should renew the sunscreen frequently, avoiding the dangerous hours for sun exposure, from 12h to 16h.

Bella.
