AJuff Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 Warmer weather makes me think of sun screen! Any natural alternatives out there that don't cost the earth? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olly Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I wish I could answer that, but I'm watching this with interest! I burn very easily and I never use less than Factor 25 ... would love to find something a bit more 'natural'. (I usually rely on long sleeves, scarves, hats etc!)

Lapinou Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 We use JASON stuff on our children, and there's another one that I can't remember the name is. If you've got a local wholefoods store, you may be able to get some there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lesley Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 We use the Cactus Juice range...... http://www.cactusjuice.co.uk/acatalog/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spike-J Posted June 20, 2008 Share Posted June 20, 2008 I burn easily too, but I love the "green people range. Have used the kids sunscreen factor 25 and the adult 22 and both equally good. And I've burnt so badly as a child my face became swollen! They don't leave your skin feeling greasy, and I haven't suffered bad "prickley heat" which I used to with conventional sunscreen.

Shirl Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 We use the Green People stuff too. I wish I had shares in the company because I spend a fortune with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yolky Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I have to use natural stuff as chemical stuff brings me out in blisters, yuck. I use green people and that is good. I also find the Liz Earle range good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted June 22, 2008 Share Posted June 22, 2008 I've burnt so badly as a child my face became swollen! Spike-j That happened to me in Kos last year - I stoopidly forgot to put any sunscreen on my face THEN I got a mozzie bit right between my eyebrows,so my forehead swelled & I looked like Manimal. I have some photos,but they are not for public comsumption Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Eating tomatoes daily is supposed to give your skin some protection too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flapjack Posted July 6, 2008 Share Posted July 6, 2008 I am allergic to the lot of them so it's long sleeves, hats and staying in the shade for the hottest part of the day. Sometimes it is unavoidable and i get burnt Would love to hear of a natural way to protect my skin without using a cream formula concocted by someone else...i make my own moisturiser anyway, wonder if there's something I could add to it. Do you think I could add some titanium dioxide? Only it's toxic if inhaled. Hmmm. I know that some of the big companies are developing creams with nanoparticles of glass that stop the UV getting through but they will no doubt be suspended in a petrochemical soup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
