With each vacation I ask myself what kind of sunscreen I will use and each time is different. For our last vacation I decided to experiment with something, which I have not used so far. Namely, natural skin care for the summer.

The products in my beach bag and these, which quickly became part of my daily routine, are sunscreen lotion with rose water SPF 30 and after sun lotion with peppermint oil on Damascena. Both products have natural and eco-certified ingredients.

The truth is, that for the first time it happens to be pleasant to me, while applying sunscreen lotion. This is due to the delicate aroma of roses. I grew up around roses and with pink products and they have a really special place in my heart. And besides, the lotion is really easy to apply without leaving white marks on the skin. Something, which has always been a hell of a nuisance to me in sunscreen.

I also tried using the lotion on Alexander's skin, as the packaging says, that is suitable for children over 3 years. And I'm very happy, because I know, that I apply a natural product, which will not harm his delicate and sensitive skin. The only one minus the product is, that it is not waterproof and should be applied again after each bath and swim. Accordingly, I would not recommend for people, who spend a lot of time in the water. That is right, because there are no added silicones and mineral oils. The latter are not natural ingredients and are at odds with the idea of ​​natural sunscreen. But I think so, that this disadvantage is offset by all the other advantages of the product, which you can read in the description here.

After a beach, the skin needs serious nourishment and hydration. I used for this purpose the lotion with peppermint oil. I will be direct - if you do not like the aroma of mint, this product is not for you. However, if you are like me and love it, I highly recommend. When I first applied it, I was surprised. It had a really strong mint scent, but not like that in mass products. It felt like a natural scent. After a few minutes, this feeling weakened and a slight note of fragrance remained on my skin.

The packaging of the lotion says, and soothes irritated and sensitive skin. I believe, that is so, because I tested it in a slightly more atypical situation. During the break, I burned my forehead with a curling iron and had nothing to apply. So I reached for this lotion and really felt relieved. The place cooled and calmed down very quickly. I'm not saying, that the product is a panacea or a cure, but it definitely helped me. And as for its relieving effect on sunburn, I really don't know how it would work, as the lotion itself with SPF30 protected me well enough, so as not to reach such a state. 🙂
