Love it? Please give us 5 stars!

Our dance continues as Janell weaves the sun science Dr Daneals revealed in the previous episode into the practical realm of skin care and diet. Learn about specific mechanisms of sun damage, along with strategies for mitigation and repair via natural remedies applied topically as well as taken internally through seasonal foods and specific supplements.
The sun should not be feared, but embraced! It can beautify and “age you backwards” if your dance is on point.

Book:

Bio-Young by Roxy Dillon

Chapter 4: Here Comes The Sun 

*studies and sources begin on page 246

This monumental book has been my beauty Bible for years. 

I have a paperback as well as a Kindle version as the later allows me to 

search key words for quick references.

Janell's Protect and Repair Sun Formula 

Use faithfully before sun exposure.

This works beautifully as a daily moisturizer. If you would like to reduce the shiny look on your face, use a cosmetic puff or pad to apply a light layer of arrowroot powder.

No specific measurements given, as I generally wing my skin care recipes. 

However, ingredients are accurately listed in order of quantity. You got this!

*seek organic sources for all oils and herbal glycerin tinctures

Fill a 12oz tinted glass bottle:

Rice bran oil (this base will account for 3/4 the mixture)

Tamanu oil

Vitamin E oil

Rosehip oil

Olive squaline 

Black cumin oil

Carrot seed oil

Red raspberry seed oil

Don quai glycerine tincture 

Gotu kola glycerine tincture

Amla glycerine tincture

Helichrysum essential oil

Rosemary essential oil

Chamomile essential oil

-shake bottle well before applying

Summertime Tomato Face Mask: 

1 Tbsp organic tomato paste

1 tsp organic extra virgin olive oil

-mix and apply to face, neck and decolletage, leave on 15 min, 

gently moisten to remove. Use 3x or more per week.

What's fabulous is that this exact recipe also equals 

one daily dose of activated lycopene for cellular sun protection.

So, grab a spoon and eat a Tbsp of this delicious mixture daily throughout the sunny seasons

(I keep a jar of it in my fridge)....then slather some on your face 

a few times per week!

Cellular sun protection foods:

*please seek organic sources and local when possible

Watermelon

Blueberries--especially wild variety

Olive Oil

Strawberries

Tomatoes esp. tomato paste + olive oil (olive oil activates bio-availability 

of the lycopene)

Green tea (drink, or can be taken in tincture extract form)

Black tea

Apples

Ceylon cinnamon (has to be Ceylon. Can be taken in capsules)

Red or black grapes

Black plums, any variety

Prunes

Onions

Carrots

Broccoli

Raw Cacao

Amla Fruit (form of paste, tincture, powder, tablets, capsules)

Gotu kola (tablets, capsules, tincture, etc)

Don Quai (ditto)

*Remember: SUGAR deteriorates cellular sun protection and 

inhibits ability to integrate benefits.

Hyaurlonic acid serum-either on its own or in a toner boasting a high concentration of it, should be applied topically on clean skin and allowed to dry before applying oil or moisturizer. 

Supplement internally with hyaurlonic acid as well: 250mg daily

Rooster comb cartilage is the best source of hyurlonic acid (most capsules will contain this form). Vegan sources are available but slightly less effective.

My #1 favorite supplement which has a very specific antioxidant effect to mitigate sun damage is Astaxanthin

Take 12mg daily 

Just one of dozens of studies confirming efficacy:
