20 DIY Natural Sunscreen Recipes
Here are some things to keep in mind when making these DIY natural sunscreen recipes:
- Choose ingredients with natural SPF properties, such as zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, to ensure effective sun protection.
- Conduct a patch test on a small area of your skin before applying the homemade sunscreen to your entire body, especially if you have sensitive skin or allergies.
- Remember that homemade sunscreens may have a lower SPF than commercial ones, so reapplication is crucial for maintaining adequate sun protection throughout the day.
- Store out of the sun and heat. For your sunscreen to last the longest, store it out of the direct sunlight and keep it cool. Throwing it in the cooler or wrapping it in a towel is a great way to keep it active.
