"Dr. Susan, you see so many people at the hotels and resorts on vacation, they're putting on baby oil and this is coconut. You see them baking in the sun literally in oil. Could you please address that? Absolutely. I mentioned earlier about SPF levels and the numbers. It's okay to put baby oil and coconut oil because that prevents the skin from getting dry and dehydration, but it has no SPF number. There's no protection, absolute zero protection. I don't recommend that you just go out in the sun with baby oil or coconut oil. It's good to have it as an addition. You can actually mix it together if you can, a sun blocker cream and baby oil. Or your anti oxidant cream that you talked about. Or mix the whole thing to together. That would be great because then you have full protection and then you have an ingredient in there to prevent your skin from drying out. Coconut oil is good for your skin, avocado too. Avocado oil too. It's beautiful on your skin."
