Thank you Kareemah/More sunscreen tips...

[Guest guest]

I would also like to buy the book you have! I have enjoyed some of the recipes

very much. My boyfriend gets a real kick out of the papaya/pineapple

mask...it's pretty messy!

On another note...

This Sunday I went to the park to read the paper and take in some sun. I

lathered up with coconut oil (cheap stuff from an Indian market) and sat out for

about three hours. Mind you, I haven't had any sun in months and I am

pale...Irish pale. Results: my boyfriend noticed a sunburn on my upper back

that night. It wasn't bad at all and I didn't feel it. I just put some aloe

vera on it and now I have a lovely tan. This is highly unusual for me as I

expected to turn beet red and peel. So I recommend the coconut oil. It isn't a

sunblock, but it does seem to lessen the impact of the sun. I've also heard

that sesame oil prevents burning...I'll try that next.

Awesome After Sun Remedy:

In a spray bottle put 1/2 c. of aloe gel, 1/2 c. water, 5 drops of pure lavender

essential oil (not synthetic). Spray it on after sun exposure, after your

shower, or anytime! This stuff is great.

Glad you found some things to help you deal with the sun. I posted the

author of the book. Hope you enjoy it. For those who will not be buying the

book but like the recipies I may start posting them later in the season. Or

just a few a week.

Thanks Everyone,

Kareemah
