I make the kids wear sunblock year round (they always roll their eyes at me, but sunburn happens even in the winter!) I always keep a tube of zinc in the medicine drawer, it's great for so many things, including noses and cheeks when you're out of sunblock -lol- I'll have to look at some of these natural options that you've listed here. It's time to go shopping for new sunscreen before vacation and with my sensitive skin I would love to find something that we can all use with no problems!

I was just starting to wonder...I've gotten so tan...were those tiny freckles on my arm there before?...now it's so hot so early in the day...should I break down and get some sunscreen? And does DS need it? Thanks for confirming what I already knew about the diet factor and sun. We eat lots of fruits and veggies, salmon, CLO (and DS is still nursing), and neither DS nor I have burned even though we've been out in the Texas sun 1-2 hours a day since the middle of April. Thanks for mentioning the coconut oil, as well--I had a friend tell me the same thing earlier this week, something I hadn't heard before! A timely message, Carrie!

I take fish oil at night, and Evening Primrose oil in the morning, and love to put coconut oil on my hair and skin when I go outside, which is often! I don't get sunburned, and don't feel leathery, even though every summer I spend lots and LOTS of time outside! I think you are on to something! Great post, Lisa (MsFitUniverse) That is wild!
