DIY Sunburn Remedy Kit Box Recipe
This year I'm really keeping my fingers crossed and double crossed that we're all able to escape the scorching suns rays. Just in case I decided to put together an emergency sunburn box with a simple three ingredient remedy. All of which not only help relieve the pain of a sunburn but also the inflammation and the redness too. One major caveat though—staying out of the sun is a must. With this particular remedy give it a week to ten days. Otherwise feel free to swap out the orange blossom water for rose (for how to make your own organic rose toner see the how-to here). Also if the skin is blistered or broken forgo this and see a doctor ASAP.

Now on with the recipe:

DIY Natural Sunburn Remedy
While many doctors will tell you there is little they can do about sunburns and send you home with a few aspirins, there are a number of things likely already in your kitchen to sooth and heal the redness. A major one being the lactic acid found in milk. The neroli/orange blossom water acts as an antiseptic, helps the skin regain lost moisture and lessons discoloration with the honey acting much the same way and as a binder to help the mask stay in place. A free bonus is how delicious this smells.
Ingredients
  • 3 Tablespoons Powdered milk
  • 2 Tablespoons Orange Blossom Water (the one I'm using here is by Foxbrim)
  • 2 Tablespoons Raw honey
  • 1 Tablespoon Water or cold pressed aloe vera juice
Instructions
In a clean and sterile mixing bowl (place it in the microwave for six seconds) combine the ingredients to form a paste that is easy to spread. Chill in the refrigerator prior to using for additional inflammation reducing benefits.Gently smooth over sunburned areas and allow to dry. Store any unused mask in the refrigerator for up to a week. Discontinue use if any further irritation or swelling is noticed and do not use this on broken or blistered skin.
