How to Make a Treatment for a Severe Sunburn

This easy to make, and gentle, treatment is perfect for those with a severe sunburn. This natural treatment can also be used for less severe sunburns. Be sure not to use this remedy on a severe sunburn that is bleeding or has formed blisters.

Things You'll Need

• 36 Drops of Lavender Oil
• 3 Tablespoons of Water

Instructions

1. Pour the lavender oil and water into a small mixing bowl, and stir together gently. Pour into a small spray bottle. Lavender oil has been used for hundreds of years to help heal a severe sunburn.

2. Store the mixture into the fridge between uses, and for about 20 minutes before the first use. It will stay fresh for about a month, then I suggest making a new batch.

3. To use, spray a thin layer over the affected skin. You can use this mixture throughout the day as needed. Make sure to apply a layer before bed so it can help soothe the area overnight. I suggest using this treatment until the sunburn begins to peel with a new layer of skin growing in.
