We all look forward to the summer when we can cast of our winter woollies and into summer clothes, and we think nothing of spending all day outside in the sun whether it be in the garden, away on holiday or just relaxing.
While sunburn is very common, severe cases can leave you very uncomfortable and sore and if left untreated can lead to skin cancer. Here are some great ways to treat sunburn at home; honey is an excellent emollient and healing salve applying this to sunburn skin not only helps to soothe the injury but the natural microbials helps to stave off infection and hasten the healing process.
Honey by itself might prove to be a bit messy though, why not use our Honey & Oatmeal Soap instead?.
Peppermint will soothe and cool the skin and like honey it's natural anti-microbial properties help to prevent infections and aid healing it's analgesic propeties will help with the discomfort.
Relax after a full day in the sun with our Tea Tree & Peppermint Bath Bombs, we have our mini's in bags of 20!
Yoghurt helps provide relief for moderate to severe sunburn as the lactose found in yogurt will not only nourish the skin but quicken the healing process. The microbes will also help prevent any infection.
