Did you know that coconut oil may help when your out in the sun? The anti-inflammatory properties may even help to relieve sunburns! Everyone knows the sun can be a dangerous thing if you are exposed to it too much. Whether you are young or old you should always take the right precautions to keep yourself protected. Did you know the sun is the brightest between the hours of 10AM and 3PM? I try to keep myself out of the sun as much as possible during those hours! Being a mommy..I really try to keep my little guy protected as well! How do you help to keep yourself protected from the sun? Check out my tips and tricks below:

• Mix 1 tablespoon aloe and 1 tablespoon coconut oil to apply to skin after being out in the sun. This will help with any redness or irration caused by the high heat.
• Instead of using your regular SPF moisturizer, try applying a light coat of coconut oil on your skin before applying make-up. Coconut oil is a natural sunscreen, it blocks about 20% of UV rays when applied. – www.healthextremist.com
• Apply coconut oil to your lips when out in the sun for moisture and SPF. Believe it or not but your lips can get sunburned so why not apply something that tastes good to them?
• If you do get sunburned, apply coconut oil to burned areas. The anti-inflammatory properties m
