The Skin Cancer Foundation has a comprehensive list of sunscreens listed on their website www.skincancer.org. Look for products with the Seal of Recommendation. I’m proud to say that our in kind sponsor for the past two summers, Vertra, is on that list. I’ve been using it, especially for surfing. It’s non-greasy and Very Water/Sweat Resistant.

Your Best Tan Recipe
This technique is so easy, you won’t be-leaf it.

Required time: About 30-40 minutes
Skill level: Goof-proof

Ingredients:
4 black tea bags
2 cups boiling water
Sponge or spray bottle

Optional:
Body lotion
Pure cocoa powder

Instructions:
When water has boiled, add the tea bags to steep. Leave in for 10-15 minutes, or until tea is dark and cool enough to touch.

In the meantime, take a shower to ensure your skin is oil- and sweat-free. After wards, make sure skin is completely dry.

Stand on something you don’t mind getting dirty. If using a sponge, drench it in the tea and wipe all over your body. If using a spray bottle, fill it with tea and spray evenly. Let skin air-dry and apply another coat for a deeper shade.

Tea will stain clothes if wet, so make sure you’re all dry before dressing. The “tan” should last 3-4 days.

Optional: For bonus color, mix cocoa powder into body lotion until you reach desired color and apply for an all-over bronzing boost.
