Make natural suntan oil according to a recipe that was created in an era when there were no modern preparations, and people needed protection from the sun.
In a glass bottle with a wider opening or a slightly larger jar, put a few grated carrots, a few chopped green walnuts, a few lavender flowers, and you can also add sage.
Fill the bottle approximately 60-70 percent with that content, and then pour olive oil to the top. The mixture is left in the sun for 20-25 days, with daily mixing by shaking the bottle, and finally it is filtered through several layers of cheesecloth.
Olive oil has a natural protection factor of 2, which is negligible protection for today's radiation, but carrots and walnuts have a naturally higher factor, which significantly increases the protection factor of our oil, and in addition, it nourishes the skin.
Carrots are rich in beta-carotene and vitamin A and are also used in modern tanning preparations, because they renew the skin and slow down its aging, but also accelerates tanning.
Lavender and sage are also excellent for skin care, they have an anti-inflammatory effect on acne, burns, and wounds, and medicinal sage also reduces cellulite. In addition, these ingredients will give the oil a wonderful smell, reports Nezavisne.
