Sun Oil by recipe of our grandmothers

August 14, 2015 by Amy Brown

This recipe was created at a time when there were no modern sunscreens, and people then were also exposed to the sun.
In a glass bottle with a wide aperture or slightly larger jar put a few carrots, a few chopped green walnuts, very few lavender flowers, and also can be added a few flowers of sage. The bottle has to be filled with approximately 60-70 percent of these contents, then put the extra-virgin olive oil to its top. Left the mixture in the sun light for 20 to 25 days, shake it a little each day and eventually fine-strained through several layers of gauze.

Olive oil has a natural protective factor of 2, which is negligible protection for today’s radiation, but with carrot and walnut it has naturally bigger factor, so they significantly raises the safety factor of our oil, and also nourishes the skin. Carrots are rich with beta-carotene and vitamin A, and are also used in modern sunscreens because it rejuvenates the skin and slows down its aging, prevents photo-sensitivity and accelerates tanning.

Lavender and sage are great for skin care, have anti-inflammatory effect on acne, burns, wounds and the sage, salvia officinalis, also reduces cellulite. In addition, these ingredients give a wonderful aroma oil.

Homemade Suntan Oil With Carrots

June 30, 2015 by Amy Brown

For carefree sunbathing and fast tanning you do not need expensive products – just invest a little patience and get the appropriate foods. Keep in mind that fast tanning is not good, it is best if you expose yourself on the sun rays gradually.

Ingredients: One large carrot • 10 ml sunflower oil • 90 ml light sesame oil

Preparation: First dry the carrot to dehydrated and then to finely grate. Carrot must contain less fluid so later in the preparation would not have emerged mold. Mix grated carrot with sunflower oil, pour everything into a glass container and hold it for about two weeks – make sure that the carrot is covered with oil.

During that time, the carrots will be rid of beta-carotene in sunflower oil . Drain the oil and mix with sesame oil. Use it as you need. Sesame oil will protect the skin from burns, and beta-carotene from carrots will accelerate the production of melanin, which is responsible for tanning.

Light sesame oil has a protection factor of 8, so oil does not protect enough from the sun very sensitive skin, but for the recommended sun in the late afternoon and early morning hours will be enough.

How to make a self-tanning lotion with natural ingredients!

May 14, 2015 by Amy Brown

The season of warm days and lighter clothes is coming. You should be preparing to wear short skirts and fluttering dresses, shorts and tops. Many girls decide to go to the solarium. Although dermatologists strictly warn that if you go to the solarium you expose your body to high levels of UV radiation, which can be up to almost 25 times higher than the midday summer sun. Human skin is not intended for large exposure to solar radiation. In one research in the UK, where going to the solarium is one of the most popular ways of self-tanning, it was discovered that the number of people suffering from skin cancer is 85%!

Experts say self-tanning creams are also not healthy! Women who frequently use these creams may have fertility problems. This is because these creams contain the level of “allowable” cocktail of hormones.

We represent you a revolutionary method for self-tanning lotion, without any harmful chemicals or the use of tanning beds!

Ingredients you need for the lotion:

– Black tea – 8 bags (organic)
– Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon
– Water – 470 ml

Preparation:

Put the water and vanilla extract to boil, then pour over the tea bags and steer for 8 minutes. When it is completely cooled, pour the liquid into a bottle with a pump.
Extra tip: Before spraying, for best effect, you may want to do the most ordinary body scrub.

Application on the skin:

Spray the skin in several layers, then thoroughly rub it on the skin. You’ll see the effect after the first round of application. Of course, it takes a minimum of an hour to make the skin absorb all the ingredients and darken.
Also note that this is a completely safe treatment, because it does not contain harmful chemicals that can harm your body.

I know this recipe seems unreliable but TRUST me I tried it and…I am ready for the summer! 😀
