Wear an apple.  Don't just eat it. 'Eat an apple on going to bed, and you’ll keep the doctor from earning his bread'.   Many of us know the version of this original Pembrokeshire (a county southwest Wales) proverb as ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’.  An apple is truly a fruit to be respected.  But it is not only for consumption.  In natural skin care, ‘wearing’ an apple is wise.

My Mum bought a children's sunscreen in 2016 and took the grandkids for a holiday. That "children's" sunscreen ate all four of my kid’s goggles. How can that be good for the skin? My Mum now uses Earth to Body sunscreen. It does not eat goggles." Marnie, Comox Thanks, Marnie.  We agree.  'Goggle eating' chemical sunscreen does not sound skin safe.Zinc and Sun.  A good combo. Summertime means sunshine, a long awaited therapy after…
