Comment on Skin Care Tips for Surfers – Free Organic Sunscreen by Janell

Janell — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 03:23:03 +0000

Aloha,
I am currently in the process of making my own sunscreen using organic products. I live in FL and have lived in HI and I found Shiseido to be great products however very expensive. I am excited to see if my homemade creation lasts. I use beeswax, coconut oil and zinc oxide only. I recently learned that sesame oil blocks about 30% UV rays. Let me know what you think or if you have any insight. Thank you.
Janell

Which Sunscreen is the best?
* Be weary, most sunblocks you buy will claim to be “water resistant” not “waterproof”.
* Zinc oxide is still really the most effective block, it is also the least toxic to your body as well as to the health of the marine life.
* Titanium Dioxide, next level of sunblock – but really just a “screen” and allows 70% of suns rays to go through.
* Brands to look for Reef Safe, UVNatural & Soleo – contains 24% zinc oxide level, and does not cause eye stinging.

How to Apply Sunscreen

1. Apply the sunscreen at LEAST 30 minutes before entering the water – don’t put sunscreen on your eyelids or it will spread and sting your eye when you’re surfing.
2. Re-apply after at least 3 hours in the water.

Stock up, sun block is your best alliance against the sun!
