Aloe vera and lavender calms and heals burns. The Aloe vera is soothing and cool and the lavender just smells so good. I love to use it on my sunburns after a day in the sun.
Aloe Vera Gel
Lavender Essential Oil
Container
Fill the container with the aloe vera gel. I buy my aloe vera gel in bulk from Eureka's local herb store. I like to use a peri bottle as a dispenser, however the bottle top does not seal, so its not really travel friendly. The peri bottle infuses the air with lavender, so I keep it out within easy reach of my nose.
Add the lavender essential oil. I estimate the volume of lavender based on the strenght of the fragrance. I usually add about 40 drops to 8 oz of aloe. I will keep adding the lavender to the aloe until the smell of lavender is pleasing to me.
Shake, label and smother, you have now a burn and after sun lotion.
Where is all this energy to do all these wonderful creations coming from? You busy little Mama you!

I have a slight case of cabin fever.
DeleteI work as a fashion photographer and it is not uncommon for me or a co-worker to get burned - lights, props - anything! When these accidents happen, without hesitation, i apply Made From the Earth "Pure Aloe Vera Treatment". I keep this product on hand at all times. I went to the beach with my children and experienced the worse sun burn i have ever experienced. I fell asleep in the sun. I remembered this product was for burns and i prayed it would work... MAGIC is the best word for this product. It was soothing, fast acting, cooling, long lasting, non-greasy, non sticky.
