Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
So is it just CLO or any fish oils? I take salmon oil.
I use California Baby on my ds....when I decided to use it. Id love to get him taking a fish oil, but would really prefer he take the salmon oil. Can I squeeze some into a drink for him out of my capsule or something?

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
I got some Jasons recently, but haven't been happy with it. I didn't realize it wasn't waterproof. Is that the case with all the paraben-free ones? It says "water-resistant" but I don't know what that means... when DS steps in the water I can see the white stuff streaming off him. DS lives in the water, so I feel like I need something with more "lasting power".
We use rash guard also-- I love it! Make sure you get the kind with SPF, otherwise you can get burned right through it. And the rash guard I bought for myself was from a surfing website, and is the real deal-- i.e. TIGHT! like, almost restricts my breathing, tight, despite my ordering a size up from normal! I wish it was looser, since I don't need protection from rocks or coral or anything but oh well.

You can get rash guards as well as skirts and swimming shorts for kids and adults and Lands End with UPF 50
I haven't purchased one for myself, but I have purchased some for dd, and they are great when we are going to be at the pool for several hours... and even better when we go to visit my IL's at the beach. They're actually on sale until tomorrow for 30% off |

For our pale faced family, we still use sunscreen in the water between 12 and 3 or 4. Otherwise, we are like lobsters as we live in the pool in the summer

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
The two things I would research for that sunscreen are how small the titanium dioxide particles are, and what aluminum hydroxide is. I think the rest of that stuff is fairly safe- though I'd be wary of the plant extracts and their compatibilities with pregnancy, if that's an issue (which I know it's isnt' for YOU atm, but in general )

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
We're all extremely fair. I'm of the pale redheaded variety that burns in about half a second, and my DH is Norwegian, so all our kids are super fair. We've stopped using sunscreen for the last several years and haven't gotten any burns, but we have a shady yard, live in the woods, and wear sunhats. We get some sunshine exposure for vitamin D, but not enough to tan.
There are a few days out of each year when a lot of exposure is unavoidable (beach, fairs, sailing), and then I'll slather everyone up with UV Natural. It's expensive, but it works really well and lasts for years.

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
We wear sunscreen if we will be outdoors for more than 20 minutes or we will burn (ds and I are fair to moderate redheads). I have already had skin cancer taken off of my forehead. We also wear hats. It is impossible to avoid the sun in the desert unless you have no life and live indoors. I try to go with more natural products, but not always.

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
I have fair skin and burn easily, so when i know i'm going to be out in the sun for awhile i use Jason brand baby sunscreen. I use it mainly on my arms and face (usually the only parts exposed to sun.)

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
I need safe, non irritating sunscreen by the gallon with a pump. We are very pale, live in the valley of the sun and have a pool and big yard.

Re: Anyone want to have our annual sunscreen discussion? LOL
Anyone ever make their own sunscreen? I don't have the money for UV naturals this summer.
I found a few recipes on MDC... I'm wondering though if I could just use coconut oil & powdered zinc oxide? |
