91. The Truth About Summer Sunscreen: An Ayurvedic Approach to Sun Care [VIDEO]

In this solo episode, Kate unpacks the summer sunscreen debate through an Ayurvedic lens. Her surprising first principle: use less sunscreen. She shares the daily skin-oiling practice that bolsters the body before sun exposure, why she now covers up with sun shirts and a big hat (and what Ayurveda says about keeping the head cool), and the difference between chemical and mineral sunscreens — including why she swore off chemical formulas two years ago. You'll learn what to look for on a label: reef-safe, non-nano zinc, and recognizable, oil-based ingredients. Kate also shares her current favorite, a tallow-based mineral sunscreen from Sky & Sol, and why its richness solves the dryness most mineral sunscreens cause.
