With the beautiful warm days and sunny skies, it makes it difficult to want to head to the gym. We all have this burning desire to be outside and enjoy the nice weather. This is the perfect time to get some fresh air and be …
Something to look out for nowadays is shortcuts. We have shortcuts for everything. Shortcuts to get to the grocery store, to learn a new language, or even to growing hair faster. Although some of those may work, shortcuts to bettering yourself and having a healthy …
Spring Break is at an end, but that doesn’t mean that tan should be. While on Spring break, my skin was kissed by the sun, a little more some days than others.
I always made sure I was lathered up in my SPF, but the Punta Cana sun was a bit stronger than here in the U.S. That is where this wonderful spray comes in handy.
What is in the after-sun spray you ask? It’s made with simple, natural ingredients you probably have laying around the house.
Why use these ingredients and what do they do?
Witch hazel: Freshness and smooths skin, decreases itching and reduces peeling of the skin
Aloe Vera gel: moisturizes skin, soothes skin, and reduces inflammation
Coconut oil: moisturizes skin
Lavender essential oil: soothes occasional skin irritations and rejuvenates skin
Peppermint essential oil: cooling
(Peppermint essential oil is a skin irritant, so while the cooling may feel wonderful, don’t overuse it.)
How to make it?
You can store at room temperature, but it’s nice to keep your Essential oil after spray in the refrigerator, to keep it even cooler. After a day in the sun, or even a couple days after, spray on your skin.
I am not a doctor and this DIY product may not work for everyone, but I sure do love it. Many friends and family have tried it and have fallen in love. So heal your sunburn with Essential oil after spray.
I hope you learn. I hope you laugh. I hope you never stop. And remember being fit is always in style.
