It’s summer time now and time for fun in the sun! I’ve got pool parties, beach parties and parties in the park to go to throughout this summer so I want to be prepared. When my family goes swimming, we tend to stay out in the sun all day long and can be exposed just a little tooooo long. I make a cream for our skin to apply right after sun exposure to sooth and prevent pain and irritations.
This is what I do:
- Get a small container like a sauce container, or an empty face cream jar (50g size jar).
2. Add the following oils:
- 15 Drops of Lavender (helps soothe burns, calms the skin and promotes healing).
- 8 Drops of Peppermint (helps cool the skin to reduce the itch).
- 2 Drops of Helichrysum (helps protect skin from the sun and promotes healing).
3. Fill the rest up with a non-toxic body cream like doTERRA’s EO Spa Hand & Body Lotion.
4. Mix together!
5. Apply liberally straight after sun exposure. For irritated skin, apply every 30 minutes until soothed. For severely irritated skin, add a couple drops of Tea Tree (Melaleuca Oil) and apply for it’s natural antiseptic properties.
I love applying this because it feels so nice on the skin after a day out in the sun. AND my skin feels normal the next day! Enjoy the sun, catch some Vitamin D and stay safe folks!
