Sunburn Relief Spray ~ Make your own

It's that time of year again.  Forgot your sunblock and now you are paying for it? Follow this recipe and make you own natural sunburn relief spray that uses the Anti-inflammatory qualities in Epsom salts to help soothe your skin, while the water re-hydrates the outer layer of skin.




What you need

Spray bottle
1 part water, 1 part Epsom salts


Instructions

Mix 2 cups of water with 4 tbs of Epsom salts. Place into a spray bottle and mix well.  Spray directly onto the skin to relieve sunburn irritation. Do not apply to broken or blistered skin as it will sting and irritate the skin.  You can also chill this in the fridge for extra comfort.

This is not to be used as a substitution for sun protection! Always use sunblock when outdoors!
