Summer, and all its many festivities, is in full swing! I love everything that summer brings with it! Cook Outs, Picnics, Adventures, Sunburns…. Wait, so I don’t love EVERYTHING about summer. I definitely don’t love sunburns! My pasty white skin and prolonged exposure to the sun, even with a high level SPF protection, can result is some serious discomfort! Fortunately, I’ve learned a few tricks to help sooth my poor over exposed skin! My favorite? This all natural After Sun Soothing Spray using some of my favorite essential oils!

    This would be great to have on hand! We spend A LOT of time outside in the summer months, it would definitely come in handy!

    I was just thinking about how much I love Summer…minus the sweltering heat & sunburns and the bug bites! I haven’t dabbled into using oils yet…but I’ve heard many great things about them. One of my close friends that I’ve known since 5th grade is a distributor and swears by them!

    I need to make up some of this. I already use witch hazel as a cleanser and to spray on bug bites. It’s awesome.

    I’ll need to remember this! My son is always in the sun and even though we slather him up regularly with sunscreen – it’s not always enough!
