Homemade Sunscreen
Just in time for winter! Sunscreen recipe!
My timing might not be particularly awesome. On the other hand, the sun does shine year round. (Although it isn’t making much of an appearance here today).
This recipe makes a sunscreen that contains emollient ingredients as well as zinc oxide. Shea butter and avocado oil also offer a small amount of sun protection factor (SPF 4-6). No matter what sunscreen you choose, follow the recommendations of the American Cancer Society for maximum benefit. Sun is serious.
