Sunburn Cure

The sunburn cure for those who never get sunburned, but eh...did anyway:


LAVENDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA!

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

Lavendula angustifolia is a genuine lavender essential oil. It is highly concentrated and comes in a small bottle. You must be sure you have the real thing in the house.

No 'smell-alikes' will do as a sunburn cure because Lavendin, a hybrid often used and sold as pure lavender usually contains a lot of camphor which will only burn more!

I write this 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.

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:

Immediately rub a drop of lavender essential oil gently on the area and follow with a very light face cream or body lotion. Repeat every hour.

For large sunburned areas:

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.

There is also a fabulous and easy to use Lavender Sunburn Spray that comes in a great travel size. Very cooling

First Aid For Burns

For regular burns - think stove, oven griddle, oil splatter - you 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.
