Making your own sunscreen can be as simple as mixing three ingredients together in a jar. It’s great for sensitive skin, and it’s even better if you also add some aloe vera gel or calendula oil. Here are the basic steps:
How To Make The Perfect Sunscreen Remedy
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons of beeswax (for the SPF)
- 1 tablespoon of coconut oil (for the SPF and moisturizing properties)
- ½ cup of aloe vera gel (for soothing skin and protecting against UV rays)
How to make:
- Melt the coconut oil and beeswax in a double boiler on low heat until they are completely liquid. If you don’t have a double boiler, place a glass bowl over simmering water in your regular pot; this should do the trick! Make sure not to let it get too hot or else it will burn your mixture! Let cool for about 5 minutes so that it’s easier to apply with your fingers later on. 2. Mix together all ingredients until well combined 3 . Apply liberally onto exposed areas before going outside into the sun
