Sun Tan Lotion

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Thessa! This might even be somewhat homeopathic, as St.

John's Wort can cause photosensitivity. I sometimes take the oil

internally, and my body seems to like it. Good advice! I'll maybe mix

it with olive oil & give it a try. Steve

Some say and I concur that taking Vitamin C; At least 4000 mg a day, in

divided doses reduces sunburn.

 

Some say that eating and applying coconut oil reduces sunburn.

 

I tend to agree!
