If you are suffering from a severe sunburn, one of the best essential oils to relieve the pain is Lavender (by now you must be wondering why you ever left home without it!). Lavender can be dabbed neat into affected areas or you can add a few drops to a carrier oil such as Coconut Oil or almond oil and massage this into those red sunburned areas. PURELY's Lavender essential oil helps promote the appearance of healthy skin and may decrease the likelihood of scars, long-term damage, and long-lasting pain from sunburn.
A great recipe that is very helpful in prolonging a tan and re hydrating dry, sun kissed skin is below:
- 3 drops Chamomile
- 2 drops Geranium
- 5 drops Lavender
- 1 tablespoon Fractionated Coconut Oil or Immerse
Blend this mix well and massage into your skin at the end of a long, hard day relaxing by the pool!
