    Hi

    So it's getting sunnier here in the UK and I want to make some homemade sun lotion.
    Does anyone have any good recipes on here?

    Thanks :)

    Peace

    I found sunblock a little tricky.
    It's hard to get it so it goes clear and doesn't shine your face like a mofo.

    i use just plain coconut oil and it works pretty good , i think it would work even better if you mix a few oils together to boost the spf protection like maybe cocoa or shea butter perhaps.yes if you put alot on your going to look like a basted turkey ready for the oven! haha

    also if you add some healthy fats to your diet i have found it helps alot at protecting your skin from burning in the sun, and dont wash your skin with soap and strip off those natural oils before going into the sun they also help protect you.
