Sunburn Soothers – A DIY Relief Spray

As we bask in the warm, radiant sunlight during those much-awaited summer days, a common adversary often puts a damper on the enjoyment – the dreaded sunburn. Even with diligent application of sunscreen, sometimes the sun’s rays get the best of us. Fortunately, nature offers us remedies in the form of essential oils. This blog post will guide you through a DIY Sunburn Relief Spray featuring essential oils from renowned brands – Living Libations and Atlantic Aromatics.

Understanding Sunburn

Before we dive into our DIY sunburn solution, it’s important to understand what happens when our skin gets sunburned. Sunburn occurs when the skin gets damaged due to prolonged exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. Symptoms range from a mild reddening of the skin to severe, blistering burns. Not only is sunburn painful, but frequent sunburns can also increase the risk of skin cancer. Hence, while we aim to soothe and heal the burn with our DIY solution, prevention should always be the priority.

DIY Soothing Sunburn Relief Spray

To alleviate the discomfort of sunburn, we present a DIY Sunburn Relief Spray featuring Lavender and Peppermint essential oils from Living Libations or Atlantic Aromatics. Here’s what you’ll need and how to make it:

Ingredients:

• 1 cup of distilled water
• 2 tablespoons of pure aloe vera gel
• 10 drops of Lavender essential oil
• 10 drops of Peppermint essential oil
• 1 tablespoon of fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil

Instructions:

1. Begin by filling a spray bottle with distilled water.
2. Stir in the aloe vera gel. This plant extract is a powerhouse for skin relief, offering hydration and a soothing sensation.
3. Add the Lavender and Peppermint essential oils. Lavender oil, revered for its calming properties, aids in skin healing, while Peppermint oil cools the skin, offering instant relief.
4. Introduce the fractionated coconut oil or jojoba oil to the mixture. This serves to moisturize the skin and dilute the essential oils.
5. Shake the bottle to ensure the ingredients blend well.
6. Spray the solution on the affected areas as needed.

Store this blend in a cool, dark place when not in use and shake before each application.

Caution:

While essential oils are natural, they are potent and should be used with care, especially on sunburnt skin. It’s recommended to patch test the solution on a small area before applying it to larger or more sensitive areas. If the sunburn is severe, seek medical advice.

Conclusion:

Nature bestows us with powerful resources like essential oils, which when harnessed properly, can provide relief from common ailments like sunburn. Remember, prevention is better than cure. Always apply sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit your time in the sun to keep your skin healthy and happy. Enjoy the sunshine responsibly!
