I proceeded to share with her a very unfortunate outcome to a very happy, sunshiny event. I am humble enough to admit that, at this occasion I was a bit of an unintentional hypocrite.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain and set the stage, admittingly with a little embellishment for entertainment.<\/p>\n<p>It was a bright Saturday afternoon. I woke up to a happy text. One of my dear friends and fellow oilers had invited me to a day of fun in the sun! I couldn\u2019t possibly pass by the opportunity to learn paddle boarding from an expert! \u201cHeck ya!\u2019\u201d was my response.<\/p>\n<p>As I was racing out the door, I smugly did a 180 and sprinted to my bathroom to grab my Mineral Sunscreen Lotion.<\/p>\n<p>As I opened the cabinet, I instantly felt all the color drain from my face.<\/p>\n<p>This was accompanied by a sudden warm and fuzzy empathy for <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Old_Mother_Hubbard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">good ol\u2019 Mother Hubbard<\/a>, a character in a very confusing nursey rhythm. If you aren\u2019t familiar <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Old_Mother_Hubbard\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">with it<\/a>, she also experienced the sheer panic of waking up to a similar situation.<\/p>\n<p>Like her, I found myself with a big\u2019 ole bare cupboard when I opened its door. Although it wasn\u2019t a dog bone I was searching for, there was an empty space where <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/enjoying-all-the-benefits-of-the-sun-without-slathering-on-harmful-chemicals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">my favorite sunscreen<\/a> had previously resided.<\/p>\n<p>My beloved bottle of sun protection hadn\u2019t arrived yet! (To my defense, I was slow on fulfillment considering that temperature highs were ranging from the 50s-80s\u00b0F in Upstate NY!)<\/p>\n<p>After <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/enjoying-all-the-benefits-of-the-sun-without-slathering-on-harmful-chemicals\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">boosting profusely<\/a> about all its benefits last year, here I was, \u201cthe naturopathic oily doc\u201d caught empty-handed. Literally.<\/p>\n<p>Now, here\u2019s where my story of being <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/why-is-avoiding-such-small-chemicals-such-a-big-topic-in-health\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chemical free<\/a>, yet unprepared, took a turn for the worse.<\/p>\n<p>I dug into my brain and remembered <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3140123\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a study<\/a> that demonstrated some in vitro evidence of volatile and non-volatile oils providing mild SPF protection. I also recalled reading from reputable sources that coconut oil may be somewhat effective in blocking the UV rays. I willfully ignored the nagging voice in my head saying, \u201cSarah, this shouldn\u2019t be the only form of protection, especially with intentional sun exposure!\u201d (<a href=\"https:\/\/mayoclinichealthsystem.org\/hometown-health\/speaking-of-health\/myth-or-fact-coconut-is-an-effective-sunscreen\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source,<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1002\/ijc.22745?utm_medium=73507&amp;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cmaj.ca\/content\/173\/3\/244.short\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3263051\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/26610885\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pubmed\/2887966\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>I thought to myself, \u201cI\u2019ll be fine, it\u2019ll just be a few hours.\u201d So, I applied some coconut oil with peppermint oil and hoped for the best.<\/p>\n<p>The best did not come. These volatile and nonvolatile oils can be beneficial in prevention of cellular damage from radiation, but they were not be a solution to the fact that I had slathered on lemon essential oil the night before.<\/p>\n<p>The result of my stubbornness is not good.<\/p>\n<p>My leg and belly look like a work of art\u2026 a brown and white spotted Picasso piece!<\/p>\n<p>The most embarrassing thing is this is a repeat incident from <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/essential-oils-allergic-responses-and-skin-sensitization-why-and-what-you-should-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the Italy sunbathing event two years ago!<\/a> You would\u2019ve thought I\u2019ve learned!<\/p>\n<p>What happened to my skin?<\/p>\n<p><strong><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-490 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2018\/06\/shock-300x200.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2018\/06\/shock-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2018\/06\/shock-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2018\/06\/shock-1024x683.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.saratoga.com\/healing-health-wellness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/125\/2018\/06\/shock.png 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve discussed this <a href=\"http:\/\/dr-lobisco.com\/essential-oils-allergic-responses-and-skin-sensitization-why-and-what-you-should-know\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">concept previously<\/a>, it\u2019s called phototoxicity.
