Sun Prevention Facial Mist

Back in the early 90's, University of Maryland did some amazing work on skin health and Vitamin C. They found that though a spritz of Vitamin C solution on the skin did not prevent sunburn, the Vitamin C would permeate the layers of tissue and prevent the sun's damaging the actual DNA, and prevented skin cancer.

Sun Prevention Facial Mist

1/2 t. / 2.5 ml     Lavender Essential Oil
1/2 t. / 2.5 ml     Solubilizer
1 t. / 5 ml           Ascorbic acid power (Vitamin C)
1 c. / 250 ml       Distilled water

Mix the essential oil with solubilizer, and put into a 1-cup spray bottle. Add the water and Vitamin C powder, and shake well before using. 

You can use this as often as you like, on the face and arms, several times a day. For optimal effects, start using this in the spring, as soon as it is warm enough to spray on your exposed skin. By high summer, you will want this handy to help you cool off whenever outside or stuck in traffic. But remember, this does not prevent sunburn, so don't stop using that sunscreen!
