I am a very pale girl with lots of freckles and blonde hair…trust me when I say that I know sunburns. I have made numerous concoctions in an effort to find relief for my reddened skin with combinations of aloe vera, hydrosols, vinegar, black or green tea, and essential oils. Many have worked quite well, but sometimes you just need something quick, simple, and effective. That’s where my 2-ingredient cooling & soothing after sun spray comes in!
Cooling & Soothing After Sun Spray
- A 60 ml (2 oz.) glass bottle with spray top
- 40 ml peppermint hydrosol
- 20 ml lavender aloe jelly (by Plant Therapy)
*If you don’t have the lavender aloe jelly you can certainly substitute regular aloe vera and add 15-20 drops of lavender essential oil.
**Store it in the fridge to extend its shelf life and provide extra cooling relief to your skin.
