Here comes the sun! Whether you’re biking, gardening, at the park, or swimming you will be exposed to that all powerful heat from the sun. How joyous and fun it can be, however it does bring some pain occasionally if we aren’t careful. Check out how Lavender and Peppermint essential oils naturally soothed my sunburn below.
Although I am not a huge advocate for sunscreen and try to use the most natural as possible, I believe when its time to remedy sunburns its imperative that we use the purest products available to ensure that the damage that’s been done doesn’t exacerbate into more serious issues like the mutation of more cells that turn into cancer and other serious diseases. Using skin care products that contain toxic chemicals will always have an adverse affect on your body and particularly your skin. Most of the time we don’t realize what it’s doing to alter your physical and emotional health, but trust me everything has a consequence! The things you eat, breathe, and apply to your body will always carry some sort of positive or negative effect. Sometimes its an immediate reaction, but usually it just gets absorbed and is very subtle in its way of changing your body’s chemistry.
I used to stock my cabinet with a cooling “relief” lotion for sunburns for years. It seemed so harmless and the cucumber melon smell was so tantalizing it was hard to let it go until I looked at the ingredients and warnings! The way I see it is if I can’t put it on my newborn than why is it okay to put on me now? I know I’ve built up some immunity to most germs and chemicals in my growing up, but why w0uld I want to apply artificial, colored, fragrant, petrochemicals on my skin (or in my body for that matter) to temporarily soothe a burn until my body heals itself. It would only disrupt the process. I went searching for a typical sunburn relief aid and this is what I found:

See what others are saying about this Lavender:
“My husband and I were honeymooning in the Bahamas and we got the worst sunburns we had ever had! His shoulders and my cheeks blistered, it was really a second degree burn. We used a ton of lavender it was really the only things that soothed the burning for me. Before we came home the blisters had completely healed! ” –Karren F.
Lavender essential oil while doing its work on the sunburn will also serve the cardiovascular system, nervous system, emotional balance, and any other skin ailment.
