Our esthetician experts say "If you can see your shadow, you need sunblock."  However, did you know the active ingredients in sunblock often dissipate after the season? So, always use a sunblock, but, don't purchase in bulk or save that last little bit in the bottle for next season.  Buy as you go, in order to always have a fresh batch, or, make your own.

Note: This recipe will leave a white nose "lifeguard style."

1 Tbs zinc oxide
1 1/2 tsp light sesame oil
1 Tbs rosewater

Mix together the zinc oxide and sesame oil. Heat the mixture gently, using a double boiler, and stir well to mix. Remove from heat and slowly add the rosewater, as you continue stirring. Allow to cool completely, and store in a clean container with a tight lid, in the fridge. Yield: 2 oz.  Keeps: Up to 10 days in the fridge.
