Why not try making your own homemade sunscreen this summer? We have a natural and easy recipe for you!<\/h2>\n

Everyone knows how much vitamin D<\/a> is vital to our bodies. Well, this is the vitamin that is responsible for building your immune system, strong bones, hormone system and teeth.<\/p>\n

In other words, never run away from the sun! That said, too much exposure to the sun may cause burning of the skin or what is otherwise known as sunburns<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Of course, the effects of prolonged exposure are dependent on your factors like skin color and things like the climate of the place you reside at. Your lifestyle also matters.<\/p>\n

If you are fond of a beach-hike-swimming-pool lifestyle, then you will surely need a lot of sunscreens to get you covered.<\/p>\n

Now, the problem is that there is no perfect sunscreen!<\/strong> In fact, even the all-natural brands out there will still have the ingredients you don\u2019t like. If that is the case, then why not try making your own homemade sunscreen?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yes, that\u2019s right, you can craft your own sunscreen at home<\/strong>. The beauty is that you do not need to be a chemical expert to succeed in this. It is super simple!<\/p>\n

The ingredients are readily available, and they are easy on your skin<\/a>. So, you do not have to worry about harming your skin. Now, let\u2019s get to work.<\/p>\n

These are what you will need for your homemade sunscreen:<\/h3>\n

Beeswax<\/strong> \u2013 just like the normal wax, beeswax is water resistant and gives the sunscreen water resistant effect.<\/p>\n

Cocoa butter and coconut oil<\/strong> \u2013 Coconut oil<\/a> protects the skin from damage caused by the sun since it contains stable fats. Cocoa butter will give it that chocolatey scent.<\/p>\n

Liquid oil \u2013 <\/strong>We use a combination of jojoba, carrot seed, and argan oils. The carrot seed oil contains natural SPF of 38-40 while argan oil is very rich in anti-oxidants. You can opt for these or olive depending on your preferences.<\/p>\n

Uncoated non-nano Zinc<\/strong> \u2013 is not absorbed into the skin since it has big particles and instead sits on the skin reflecting and absorbing the UV rays.<\/p>\n
