How to Heal A Sunburn ❄️⁣
⁣
By applying the strategies covered on how to safely get sensible sun exposure, you will be able to avoid sun burns while reaping all the benefits. ⁣
⁣
But, we are all human and sometimes shit happens. ⁣
⁣
There will inevitably be times when you spend a little to long in the sun and could benefit from having some practices that will help to smooth the skin, promote healing and regenerate those skin cells. ⁣
⁣
Cold water immersion is an incredible way to quell the inflammation & speed up the healing of a sunburn. ⁣
⁣
Could be an ice bath, cold shower, or jumping in a cold body of water. ⁣
⁣
One of the best natural substances to accomplish this healing effect from a sunburn is aloe vera. ⁣
⁣
Sadly, most of the after sun aloe products on the market are very poor quality and contain many harmful additives. ⁣
⁣
I've found that many of the conventional "after sun" aloe vera products aren't using a good extraction method of the aloe plant so it doesn't contain many of the active constituents that provide the healing benefits. Additionally, many contain harmful additives (such as FD &C colorings and synthetic preservatives) we certainly don't want in or on our bodies. ⁣
⁣
That is why I recommend using a homemade sun burn relief combination using very high-quality aloe vera and a few other natural ingredients.⁣
⁣
The aloe vera product I use in my practice is made by R PUR Aloe and is called 18x concentrate aloe vera since it has up to 18 times the active compounds than other aloe vera products due to the extraction method they use. ⁣
⁣
To make your own homemade after sun concoction is heal your skin after a sun burn (or any burn) is: ⁣
- 1 part 18x aloe concentrate ⁣
- 1 part fractionated coconut oil ⁣
- Optional: 2-3 drops of peppermint and/or lavender essential oil ⁣
⁣
Simply combine all ingredients into a spray bottle and spray it onto the areas of your skin with the burn. Allow it time to sit and soak in. ⁣
⁣
Keep an eye out for the final post in the #SUNSERIES coming your way tomorrow ☀️
