Top 4 Oils for SUNBURN
It's June & that summer sun is HOT already!😎
Our pool has seen lots of use here in Phoenix, which also has meant the occasional sunburn when kids & adults alike forget to slather up or stay out there too long.
We're also heading to Washington state this month to spend time as a family & we'll be doing quite a bit of hiking and spending time on the water too, so the following tips are going to come in handy. I love having a few essential oils on hand because they're great to cool the skin & can help heal the sunburn more quickly.
doTERRA released an “After Sun Body Spray” last year that has become an essential for us…it's absolutely CRAZY how it has helped our sunburns look so much better overnight!
Keep these next ingredients always on hand during the summer as your vital go-to!
Top 4 Essentials for SUNBURN:
doTERRA After Sun Restorative Body Spray
This newer product from doTERRA came out last year & has become essential in our home! So good! Shake well before each use and store at room temperature. Hold it 4-6 inches from the skin. Spray liberally all over the body in a continuous motion. Rub in to moisturize the skin.
For the face, spray on the hands and rub into the face. Don’t spray directly on the face.
The power of this spray stems from plant-based ingredients like Japanese green tea and aloe vera, hyaluronic acid, & some amazing essential oils that include Copaiba, Lavender, Peppermint, Helichrysum, & Frankincense.
It is SO soothing you guys! And moisturizing. This is an awesome one to use as an every day body lotion…even without a sunburn!
I also love that it's paraben- & phthalate-free, as well as vegan-friendly & cruelty-free. It comes in an aluminum, non-aerosol spray bottle that delivers a continuous, 360-degree application (so it sprays even if it's upside down). Made for ALL AGES. But as with anything for babies, if your little one is younger than 6 months, run it by your doctor first.
Peppermint, Lavender, & Aloe Vera:
Make your own after-sun cooling spray. Combine 1/2 cup liquid aloe vera, 2 tablespoons fractionated coconut oil, 10 drops of Lavender oil & 10 drops of Peppermint oil in a glass spray bottle. Shake & spray on sunburn.
Roman Chamomile + Lavender:
For a cooling bath - fill the tub with warm water. Add 1 cup of milk, 3 drops of Roman Chamomile & 3 drops of Lavender. Soak for 20 minutes.
PREVENTION IS KEY: Use the Doterra Sun Care Line
Sunscreen has been in the news a ton the last couple years. It's touted as preventing skin cancer, but there's a ton of ingredients in them that actually CAUSE cancer.
Natural sunscreens tend to not rub in well & can be very pricey.
That's why I have LOVED using doTERRA's Sun Care Line since it came out last year. Each product in this line we have tried, and absolutely been so happy with. And it's at a great price point! And you don't have to worry about any of the ingredients.
This is a natural mineral sunscreen that is super clean, safe, & effective…for every age.
Good for all skin types. Dries sheer on all skin tones & is super hydrating.
Environmentally conscious: vegan-friendly, cruelty-free, & reef safe!
Clean, green formulas. Powered by non-nano zinc oxide & free of harsh & synthetic ingredients including oxybenzone, parabens, & phthalates, among others.
The Sun Care Line includes:
Face + Body Mineral Sunscreen Lotion

Face Mineral Sunscreen Daily Moisturizer (the perfect daily sunscreen to put on under or over your makeup)
