Re: [Everything doTERRA] Re: [Everything doTerra] sunscreen

Draxe.com (Dr. Axe) has a DIY recipe PDF (attached) off of his website, which includes. 

I have not tried nor used yet.  

Before I found EOs, I used Coconut Oil before my hiking or kayaking activities. 

For simplicity, I just started adding a couple drops of Lavendar to the 1 Tbl Coconut Oil. 

I have not had to use any after sun exposure stuff, but Dr. Axe has one in the PDF file. 

.

for longer exposure, after a couple of hours.

John,
I just saw your post about before and after sun protection recipes. I would be interested in these as I have not been using sun screen for near ten years now. I do burn on occasion but as others have said I try to avoid the sun. I had such bad alergic reactions to sun screen years ago that I stopped using it.
