During summer, I am no stranger to the effects of the sun. I spend a good amount of time outside, either first thing in the morning or after dinner to avoid the hottest peaks, or while playing in some sort of water, whether in a pool or from a hose with my young kids. As a redhead with fair, sensitive skin, I have to be extra careful when out in the sun. It doesn’t take long for me to burn or suffer from heat exhaustion if I don’t properly take care of myself with hydration, skin protection, and knowing when I’ve had enough. Here are a few sunscreen recipes if you’ve been wondering how to make a natural version at home this summer.

As the days grow warmer, body scrubs become especially useful again. With our skin spending more time exposed to sun, garden soil, salt air, and sunscreen, scrubs can help soften dry patches while leaving the skin refreshed.

Easy to recognize, rosemary is commonly used in cooking, landscaping, medicinal remedies, and skin-care recipes. An aromatic, evergreen herb, fresh or dried rosemary as well as the essential oil form contain numerous beneficial properties for the skin, including anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antifungal properties.
