I just spend five glorious days in Florida and spent four of them at the beach! Being a natural redhead offers me a challenge he when it comes to my skin and the sun. I am a rare redhead that actually tans–if I use sunscreen and take it slow. I try to take breaks in the shade and not spend hours in the sun on the first day.
Since aloe grows easily in the warm climate in Florida I was able to grab some out of my moms yard and make up a soothing spray. It felt so good on my skin after a day at the beach.
Depending on the size of the glass bottle, you add:
?lavender—soothing to the skin
?melaleuca—keeps skin germ free
?peppermint—provides a natural cool
?fresh aloe pulp
? Top off with water
Spray as needed following time in the sun! You can learn more about essential oils in this free ebook.
