Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 I know the ancient Athenians used to use just plain Olive Oil. If anyone should care to test this, I'd be most interested.

Without sunscreen on my face, I get light brown blotches, especially on my upper lip, and the wrinkles do happen faster. Sigh. It would be wonderful to find something natural.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 If i'm around the house, I use coconut oil myself and on my son. It works great. I've even used it sitting out by a pool for 2 hours and not a sunburn at all--only thing is if it is semi-hard in a container it will definately melt in the sun and get all over the place. So if I put it on at home first I use the coconut-otherwise I take organic sunscreen to the pool and beach only. My mother uses almond oil and she doesn't get sunburn either...

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2006 Report Share Posted July 20, 2006 One could infuse the olive oil with lavender buds, jasmine and calendula flowers - smells absolutely DIVINE(!), and the calendula is good for the skin, too. I make it to use as a massage oil, now I have another reason to use it! Tammi U.On 7/20/06, Dr. Ian Shillington <DocShillington wrote: I know the ancient Athenians used to use just plain Olive Oil.

Guest guest Posted July 21, 2006 Report Share Posted July 21, 2006 Thats strange...because in my experience and from what I read, coconut oil tans=burns the skin and it happened to me. .

Guest guest Posted July 24, 2006 Report Share Posted July 24, 2006 Olive oil works good people on Adriatic sea coast use that today. Last week I used coconut oil. I was first time on the sun for 7 hours at the Lake and I did get just a little bit burn, and great ten. Nobody could believe it is one day ten. Comparing to my husband ho had severe burn because he didn't want to use coconut oil. JasminaCarla <rose.carla wrote: I guess its safe to say that the ancient Athenians had an ozone layer too.

Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 Did anyone else see the article about sunscreen being a major cause of coral reef bleaching? It was on the cnn.com website a couple weeks ago. I think the original source of the article was in Science or Nature-a solid, respectable study anyway. Not that I'm anywhere near a coral reef, but does anyone have any recipes for sunscreen? Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 14, 2008 Report Share Posted June 14, 2008 Here's a link to an article about this: http://www.treehugger.com2008/01/sunscreens_bleaching.php According to the comments, there may be other factors at work besides sunscreen. Having said that, there's not doubt that traditional sunscreen is not good for either humans OR coral reefs. Here's a link to a supposedly healthier sunscreen: http://www.pristineplanet.com/biodegradable-organic-sunblock-natural-non-toxic-eco-friendly/sunscreen/1314_a_0.html Cyndi In a message dated 6/13/2008 10:44:49 A.M.
