Unfortunatly, no matter how healthy you eat or how little you burn vs tan due to healthy eating, sun exposure still causes wrinkled skin. Buddhist monks who stay indoors their whole lives have faces like baby's bottoms, no wrinkles at age 90, due to no sun exposure. (a bit extreme, a little is needed for vitamin D though) And those monks did not have perfect diets.

If it is just needed for the face, what about a hat with mosquito netting around it for shade? Or buy the netting for the hat you own.

You can see through it fairly well and fold it up when not needed.

Why not just cover skin with light weight long sleeves and pants?
This is what folks around the world in high heat/sunlight areas do
as a lifestyle.

When you get a sunburn or stay in the sun too long during your first exposure, melanin will form quickly, but it will also peel, leaving you unprotected. Repeated sunburns and overexposure to the sun increase the risk of skin cancer, especially for those with fair coloring.

The sun is necessary for health, but take care when you are outside. Unfortunately, the destruction of the ozone layer forces us to sun less or pay the consequences. In addition to being linked to skin cancer, overexposure to the sun breaks down collagen, the protein substance in the skin that gives it elasticity. The results are wrinkles, lines, and leathery-looking skin.

Here are recipes for sunscreen and sunblock:

SUNSCREEN LOTION
INGREDIENTS
1 cup water
3 tea bags (black tea)
½ teaspoon PABA powder
2 tablespoons beeswax
1 cup sesame oil
10 drops vitamin E oil
Yield: 2 cups

TO MAKE:
1. Make a very strong cup of black tea with the tea bags and water. Cool to room temperature; remove the tea bags, pressing out all the water.

2. Dissolve the PABA powder into the tea.

3. In a double boiler, melt the beeswax in the sesame oil on low heat.

4. Once the beeswax is melted, remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

5. Place the tea mixture in a blender on high speed. Slowly drizzle the oil mixture into it and mix for 5 minutes.

6. Add the vitamin E oil while still blending.

7. Pour into a cleancontainer, preferably one with a spout.

To use, apply generously to your skin and face. Reapply every 2 hours when the sun is hot and high, or if you have been swimming.



SUNBLOCK
INGREDIENTS

1 cup zinc oxide paste
½ cup sesame oil
½ cup orange blossom water, at room temperature
½ cup distilled water, at room temperature

Yield: 2 cups

TO MAKE
1. Spoon the zinc oxide paste and pour the sesame oil into the top of a double boiler.

2. Stir as best you can.

3. Fill the bottom of the double boiler ¼ full of water and bring to a gentle boil.

4. Place the top of the pan containing the paste and oil over the bottom and gently heat, stirring constantly for 3 minutes.

5. Remove from heat. Add the orange blossom water and distilled water, mixing thoroughly.

6. Store in a widemouthed jar with lid; decorate with stickers, if desired.

To use:
1. Dab on the skin. Do not rub in. The more opaque the product is on you, the more effective the sunblock.

titanium dioxide is the only natural think I've read about. I think I saw that it comes in a non-opaque form too, vs the old, opague white form.

I envy you, I passed a whole winter in Peru, in the jungle not in the sierra, wow are peruvians sweet people!

I don't understand, is it you have to walk to go get supplies or do you have to walk to have lunch in a place. The supplies you can get in early morning, but if it is the second, well why don't you try the warrior diet? it is awesome: you eat only for dinner, as much as you like, the rest you fast, you can have juices or fruit if you like, or only water. It is a very cleaning regime, those who are too thin gain weight and those who are two fat loose weight, and those who are perfect stay perfect. Ah! an important thing is that, for dinner you begin by eating the vegetables, then proceed to eventual proteins and at the end cereals. So instead of having lunch, you can put on a hammock under a tree and take a nap!

About the noon UV-a rays: well I tried to stay in the sun at noon to raise my vit.D which I sure lack of, but I just hate it, and imagine I'm in Norway (but +600 m)! But I think that if you stay out at noon but under a tree, something passes anyway, but it is not unpleasant. With other shadows it is not the same, trees are the solution because it is only half-shadow.
