Sunburn Soak

Sometimes, I get so focused in my garden that I forget to reapply my sunscreen. Accidents happen, right?

That’s why I love this sunburn soak. Just add it to your lukewarm bath and let yourself soak for about 20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 quart of water

• 1/2 cup witch hazel

• 1/2 cup baking soda

• 1/2 cup aloe vera gel (optional)

• 2 tbsp honey

• 1 heaping tbsp dried calendula flower

• 1 tbsp dried plantain leaf

• 1 tbsp raspberry leaf

• 1 tbsp green tea

• Lavender essential oil

Bring water to a rolling boil and remove from heat. Add calendula, plantain, raspberry leaf and green tea into the water and stir until completely mixed. Steep for 30 minutes, covered.

Strain. Add honey, baking soda, aloe vera gel and up to 10 drops of lavender essential oil. Use immediately.
