[Everything doTERRA] Re: Beach/Ocean Rash

Sounds interesting! I also want to try the natural forms of sunblock
using oils & increasing certain vitamins. When I used sunblock it
made things worse because it clogs the pores & doesn't wash off
easily. I will try that now & see if it helps clear it up. It makes
sense to use our allergy relief mix! Thanks!
