Summer is here and that means we'll be spending more time outside in the sun! If you're like me you tend to forget the sunscreen at times and get a dreaded sunburn.
You need a carrier oil, I always use coconut oil as I love the smell. You can use aloe gel as well. Essential oils are helpful as well as they provide anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and anti-microbial treatment to the skin.
Here's a list of oils you can choose from.. Chamomile, Lavender, Peppermint,Tea tree oil.
Once you’ve chosen your essential oil, DIY a sunburn-soothing concoction.
~ Mix 1 to 3 drops essential oil with 1 teaspoon aloe gel and 1 cup water. Pour it into a spray bottle and spray it on the sunburn.
~ Combine 1 or 2 drops essential oil into 2 tablespoons coconut oil to make an ointment.
