Sunburn Bath Remedy

Ouch! We all end up with too much sun at some time or another, despite our best efforts to be diligent with sunscreen application. Soothe your sunburned skin with this easy bath remedy.

Sunburn Bath

1/2 cup oatmeal
1/4 cup baking soda
1/2 cup aloe gel
1/4 cup honey

1. Mix all ingredients in a bowl and place into a drawstring muslin bag (found in the kitchen section of your local store), cheesecloth tied with a knot or an old sock secured with a rubber band (clean, of course!).
2. Run a tepid bath, letting the water run over the bag full of the blended ingredients.
3. Soak in the tub for 20 minutes and gently pat dry.

After leaving the bath, you can also then apply chilled witch hazel (easily found at your local drug store) with a small bottle to burned areas, followed by a final application of aloe gel.

Repeat this bath as needed to give your skin relief and assist in healing. Ahhhhh!
