Recently I posted about the importance of using sunscreen. Even with the use of sunscreen there are those days we overdue it and our skin needs a bit of soothing. So if your skin needs cooling relief or feels a bit dry, you can make this DIY cream from items you probably have in your home.
Items Needed:
- 4-ounce jar
- 1/4 cup organic coconut oil
- 1/4 cup aloe vera gel
- Lavender essential oil
- Peppermint essential oil
Directions:
- Mix coconut oil and aloe vera in the jar.
- Add 10 drops of lavender oil and 5 drops of peppermint oil. Mix well.
- Test the cream on a small area of your skin to ensure that there is no reaction before generously applying all over.
Uses:
- Stops excessive pain and burning from sunburn.
- Offers an instant cooling effect.
- Soothes and moisturizes skin.
- Reduces the chance of itching and peeling.
- Allows skin to properly heal.
