For those of us out there with a robust disposition for making our own DIY products, this DIY Sun Nourishment is a great base for being outdoors with the elements this year. Zinc Oxide reflects the sun, while the rest of these ingredients hydrate and heal the skin.

It should be reapplied often depending on your skin type, nature of activities (i.e. swimming/sweating), and intensity of the sunlight.
