Sunburn Soothing Lotion
So you slacked on your SPF reapplication duties … shame on you! But because we're not total meanies, we'll share how to create a lotion that'll soothe your tender skin. The peppermint oil (a natural coolant), witch hazel and baking soda (two well-known sunburn soothers) in this recipe will bring you some relief.Ingredients:
2 tablespoons water
1 tablespoon witch hazel
1/4 cup baking soda
1-2 drops of peppermint oil
Directions: Mix together all ingredients in a container with a lid to form a thick, milky solution. Shake well before applying. To use: Gently apply to your sunburned skin and allow to dry. Reapply if necessary. You may also want to rinse your skin after the lotion absorbs and works its magic because it leaves film as it dries (you know, in case you decide to venture out -- tan lines and all).
