Sunblock
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.
