Skin health

Temperatures persisting at 100 degrees F. and quite humid. Heat is enervating.
Sun is healthy for skin, but not sunburn. I like to use zinc oxide (order a pound from the pharmacist for about $15) and lanolin or coconut butter or glycerin or any fat and make a cream. (I would avoid all soy and canola and corn and other GMO's.) I would add any fresh ground fruit or vegetable with yellow or orange or red flesh, such as carrot, beet, orange, mango, avocado, watermelon, squash, pineapple.
This is also a good deodorant, and is also a good hair conditioner.
