Sunburn Cure

...for those who never get sunburned, but eh...did anyway!


HAVE LAVENDER ... WILL TRAVEL

There it is, don't ever leave home without it. Your sunburn first aid.

Lavendula augustifolia is a genuine Lavender essential oil. Nothing else will do as a sunburn cure because Lavender 'smell-alikes' usually contain a lot of camphor which will only burn more!

I write this page because of the sad condition I am in. I have first degree sunburn on the back of my legs. It's hard to sit or lay still because they feel hot and itchy. There are also some pretty hand prints visible on my upper back where I stopped applying the sunscreen.

Before I even left the summer house we were visiting in Florida to go to the beach, I lathered up my body with SPF 30 sunscreen. So far so good.

We went after two o'clock and would stay for only two hours. My plan was to only expose the front side of my body, so I admit to doing a poor job of the sunscreen on my backside.

It was March and a very windy seventy degree day. What a pleasure being on the beach at this time of year.

Well, I ended up chatting with my girlfriend while laying on my stomach and turned my back to the wind and sand drifting our way. Those few hours were enough to make me look like a juicy shrimp!

For small sunburned areas:

I immediately rub a drop of Lavender oil gently on the area and follow with a very light face cream or body lotion. Repeat every hour.

For large sunburned areas:

I mix 5 - 10 drops of Lavender with a milky body lotion and a few drops of water or rice milk to make it runnier.

Gently massage over the area and let your skin just drink it up. Repeat often.

Don't use oils or heavy creams as they will not cool your skin.

Now, a week after my sunburn disaster, I can say my skin feels repaired and soft. There is absolutely no sign of peeling! I kept up the Lavender application morning and night for about five days.

Back at home I added my Lavender Sunburn Spray from my essential oil company . Contact me for more information on this special Lavender. Your information is for my personal use ONLY.

First Aid For Burns

For regular burns - think stove, oven griddle, oil splatter - one also wants to grab the Lavender Oil first. It will help the pain go away immediately and you will notice very little blistering, peeling and scarring.
