Tea Tree Oil Sunburn Recipes


The calendar says it's summer, but it's raining right here in Nova Scotia. Combining wishful thinking and a touch of gloating, I looked for something to cheer me up to write about, and chose sunburn. Whether or not or not you think me when I say, "I really feel your discomfort" is up to you!

It's convenient to relish the warmth and the golden tan from spending time in the sun, but it's tempting to overdo it and get burnt. Right here are some suggestions for soothing herbal sunburn relief:

Tea Tree Oil diluted to one component with ten components of olive oil or coconut oil and spread freely over the affected places is soothing and discomfort-relieving and also reduces blistering and peeling. You can also applied tea tree oil complete strength to sunburn.

Personally, I get it even more soothing to combine tea tree oil with one more cooling herbal, my personal preferred is aloe. I grow aloe plants and I choose and split a leaf, squeeze out the gelatinous substance, add a few drops of tea tree oil, and pat gently on the burned area. Then blowing on it or sitting in front of a fan increases the cooling sensation.

Tea tree is particularly successful when paired with lavender oil. Add five drops of tea tree and 11 drops of lavender oil to 3 ounces of cool, distilled water. Spot this mixture in a bottle with a spray atomizer attachment and mist sunburned places whenever cooling relief is needed. Molly of Molly's Herbals sells a tea tree/lavender oil mixture that makes this remedy really convenient.

Add a few drops of tea tree oil to vitamin E or aloe Vera lotion. Apply a few occasions a day to relieve discomfort, redness and inflammation.

Persons with sensitive skin should really use tea tree oil in diluted form. It can be mixed with one more oil such as almond or wheat germ. Apply cold water to get rid of heat and then gently rub oil mixture into affected places to support relieve stinging and later itching.

I found some great after-sun skin care goods that include several of these ingredients just by searching the web, I recommend you do the similar if you would rather not make your personal treatments.
