Lots of people say that once you have been raw for a while you stop getting burnt and I have noticed this is true in myself (18 months 100% raw) though if I'm out in the heat of the day, especially when it's 38 degrees as it has been for over a month here in Perth, I do still burn a bit. My advice is to avoid the sun in the middle of the day (good old 11 to 3 stay under a tree, lol!) and wear light cotton shirts/pants to protect yourself.

Once the burning has actually happened, nothing is better than fresh aloe gel straight from the plant. I've done a comparison when I had burnt shoulders - the one with the aloe returned to a normal colour and didn't peel while the one without aloe took a while to get back to normal and peeled heaps.

I read that brocolli is a great sun protector they just havent invented a cream for it yet

a tan is like fitness. we can use chemicals to let us go further than we naturally can or we can build up slowly and in accordance to our bodies desires.

for me im out riding whatever the weather. 0c to 48c. if im in the sun with not much tan i just hit the shade or cover up with some light clothing, sand, mud or leaves.. and yeah you tan better on sweet fruits. its like the fruit that doesnt get enough sun wont be sweet enough...

also i find that not eating much before extreme heat does give the skin better chance. as does being hyper hydrated.

Get a tan thats your sunscreens!

Sorry...typo...avocado is a carrier and carrot is an essential oil.
