Homemade Sunburn Remedy: All Natural After Sun Cooling Spray Recipe
All Natural After Sun Cooling Spray supplies/ingredients needed:
- Spray Bottle ( 8oz )
- 4 Tbsp Pure Aloe Vera Gel
- 6 ounces Witch Hazel
- 20 drops Young Living Lavender Essential Oil
- 20 drops Young Living Peppermint Essential Oil
Directions For How To Make All Natural After Sun Cooling Spray
Gather your supplies and head to the kitchen counter. Start with your spray bottle, natural aloe vera gel and witch hazel. Pour 6 ounces of witch hazel into your spray bottle. Witch hazel contains natural compounds called tannins that are inflammatory and good for soothing irritated skin. Next, add 4 TBSP of the aloe gel. Aloe vera is good for aiding the skin in healing. Next, grab your essential oils.
Add 20 drops of your peppermint essential oil and 20 drops of your lavender essential oil. Screw on the spray top, give a good shake and you are ready to use your After Sun Cooling Spray. You want to make sure to give a good shake before each use since the gel is little heavier than the water and oils. It might sink to the bottom but nothing a gentle shake can’t fix!
Like I mentioned this homemade After Sun Cooling Spray is great for the whole family. It’s gentle enough to use on children. Just make sure to NOT get into eyes. When I apply this cooling spray to my face or my children’s face, I spray a little into my hands and then rub on face. This spray can be used as often as you need it. If you skin is sunburned and you are using it as a homemade sunburn remedy, I recommend applying once per hour.
I hope you enjoy this After Sun Cooling Spray recipe. Do you think you might try this natural remedy out this summer?
