Natural sunscreen recipe
Try this homemade remedy
Janine McClelland, homeopath and managing director of natural healthcare clinic, The Remedy Group in Melbourne, believes “sunscreens with an active base of zinc oxide are generally better than other chemical based sunscreens as the zinc oxide lies on the skin without being absorbed”.
Try this natural sunscreen recipe and protect your skin this summer.
