July 2023 - After Sun Elixir: soothing a summer sunburn

Posted by Jeriel & Bobbie on

LAUGHTER - HOPE - NOSTALGIA

July is a month filled with sweet moments that remind me of my adolescence. Using the sun to warm the dark and overwhelmed spaces of my mind I can ground into the simple joys of life, embrace the morning snuggles late night movies, and poolside popsicles.

AFTER SUN ELIXIR

We all try to protect our skin, but sometimes sun burns happen.  This DIY can offer some relief and help your skin recover.

 

MIX TOGETHER

in a small spray bottle:

 

1 cup Aloe Vera Liquid

1 cup Witch Hazel

¼ cup Calendula Extract

8 drops Lavender Essential Oil

 

SHAKE VIGOROUSLY

 



WITCH HAZEL

Rich in tannins and antioxidants that help reduce inflammation. Look for pure witch hazel without fragrance or alcohol.


ALOE VERA

Helps reduce inflammation, soothe and moisturize your skin, and boost collagen production to speed up healing.  Look for 100% Aloe Vera without any colors, fragrance, or additives
