Coconut Oil as sunscreen?

[Guest guest]

Hi Mara,I'm a redhead, too. Were you referring to the coconut oil when you wrote it you plaster on yourself and you then don't burn? Or did I misunderstand. I am increasing my sun exposure time and I have to be careful, to as I live in Tasmania (island of virtually no ozone layer). I have said for years that sunscreens are toxic and therefore have not used them. I don't really like the gluggy consistency of the sunscreens found in health stores, although I believe they are good. Just looking for ideas that work.Thanks, Eva. --- On Wed, 4/8/09, Maracuja <howdurdago wrote:Maracuja <howdurdagoRe: Re: Plantar warts....need

PS: The younger redheads in the family are using astaxanthin as a preventive. Dh uses astaxanthin and enzymes - 2 undiagnosed black growths have vanished and a third is on its way out. Previously had melanoma removed but nothing else to "get the bits the surgeon missed", yeah right!? Won't ever return for excisions !By their ages, the men of my generation had keratosis on their ears and the backs of their hands. My sons have none but have spent long hours outside in the

sun. We don't use sunscreens as one son is allergic - just a

beautiful natural product that had carrot oil in it, from a lady in Whangarei. Her daughter now has a similar product. To help my eczema I take astxanthin too and coconut oil. I smother it on my skin and sit in the sun at noon. Never burnt. In winter, not much sun, so i take D3. Seems to be helping. Also sea buckthorn oil appears to be removing the keratosis (?) from my hands - I believe the oil contains astaxanthin too. Hello Pam, An aunt used to treat solar keratoses with 1:1:1 of water, glycerine and acetic acid. Just the chemist varieties for the latter 2 ingredients. Her bil had them all over his

back, so his wife duly made up the potion. However instead of treating them individually she wiped it all over his back. He said it really hurt his good skin but got rid of them! I use it on the backs of my hands too, but have noticed a few on my arms and even an inner thigh, which has never seen the sun! It doesn't seem to hurt the good skin, so he's either a sook, or I'm an insensitive clod! Mine appeared as I came off steroids for eczema last July. All the best, Mara--- On Sun, 4/5/09, Pam Griffin <pgriff. nz> wrote:Pam Griffin <pgriff. nz>Re: Re: Plantar warts...need helpoleander soupSunday, April 5, 2009, 5:58 PM Wow you only have one !!!!Im

the tape on it? (with skin it becomes quite thick...id imagine not too easy to walk like that...)I have to walk with it all day long? or I can not use it when I go to work etc? then when I get home put the peel... tape it for when I sleep till the morning?Thanks Checked by AVG.
