sunscreen home remedy - #20307

Om

I am really struggling with my skin these days. Last summer, I had a horrible sunburn and swore I would never let that happen again. I've been trying different commercial sunscreens, but they always seem to irritate my skin. I don't know if it's the chemicals or what, but my skin gets super red and sensitive. A friend mentioned a sunscreen home remedy they use, but I'm, like, unsure about making my own stuff. I tried mixing coconut oil with zinc oxide once, and it felt greasy and didn't absorb! I also read about aloe vera’s benefits, but would that really work as a sunscreen home remedy? I mean, can something as simple as a sunscreen home remedy offer effective protection? Or do I need to just suck it up and deal with these commercial ones? I’m worried that using a sunscreen home remedy wouldn’t protect me enough and I’d end up burned again. Do any of you have successful sunscreen home remedy tips that won't break me out or feel horrible on my skin? I’d really appreciate any advice before summer hits!
