Blister In The Sun Aloe Vera After-Sun Gel
Summer is brief in the Northeast but it's also scalding...and then there's the winter escapes to beach destinations (temporarily on hold) to get some much-needed Vitamin D!
The problem is, we're not used to getting all that much sun north of 40. Even with sunscreen, it's not unusual to get blistered in the sun - or at least experience tender, red skin, especially after accidental overexposure to the sun.
The thing is, a little sun is good for your health - Vitamin D is also one of the biggest immune boosters we have. Go ahead and let it shine on you. Afterwards, soothe your skin with the goodness of pure, organic aloe vera gel with the extra moisture of coconut oil. Aloe vera has been known across all cultures and time periods as the “burn plant,” the ultimate natural remedy for a bad sunburn, and additionally, aloe vera oil can moisturize the skin and help prevent peeling.
Completely unlike the alcohol and synthetic-filled tubes of gel you get at the drugstore, this really cools, moisturizes and heals skin with everything you want and nothing you don't. Carry a 2 oz jar or bottle with you to the beach, and keep one in the fridge for immediate cooling relief! Or use this gel as a light, super-penetrating moisturizer year round.
Directions: Shake well and apply generously anywhere there has been sun exposure.
