Aromatherapeutic After-Sun Treatment
Soothing hydrolates help reduce redness and skin inflammation
Hydrolates are a popular part of non-toxic skin care. They are ideal for treating sunburned and tanned skin. They help refresh it and some also have a cooling effect. If you want to gently hydrate and cool your skin and face and you are not sunburned, you will appreciate organic peppermint hydrolate.
It is also suitable for reducing headaches and cooling down the whole body after sun exposure. Just mix one teaspoon with a glass of water and drink it. For sunburned, red, and itchy skin, apply organic hydrolates of white rose, damask rose, true chamomile, or lavender. You can also mix these hydrolates together into one spray bottle and use them synergistically, or use yarrow hydrolate with healing panthenol.
Nourish the skin after sun exposure
Tanned skin needs deep nourishment. Vegetable oils and oil macerates from popular flowers and herbs are perfect for this purpose. The skin will be beautiful, soft, and hydrated after use. If you don't want to conduct aromatherapeutic alchemy yourself, definitely reach for Purity Vision staples. An excellent choice for the whole family is calendula oil. Although originally intended for delicate baby skin care, adults who have accidentally sunburned will also appreciate it. The same service is provided by thicker calendula butter.
If you are looking for a truly reliable plant that is excellent for all skin types, including sensitive and aging skin, you can confidently choose rose. Not only does it smell beautiful, but it can protect the skin from oxidative stress and reduce skin inflammation symptoms. Rose butter helps to hydrate the skin and effectively soothes it.
Why choose shea butter?
Great protection for tanned skin is also provided by pure shea butter. Additionally, it doses the skin with antioxidant vitamins E and A, protecting against premature aging symptoms. The lipids that make up most of its content allow good penetration through the skin barrier and maintain balanced hydration of the upper epidermis layer. Due to the content of resin esters, it softens, heals, and nourishes the skin. At the same time, it provides protection against external aggression (UV radiation) and oxidative stress effects. It regenerates skin cells; it contains lupenol and beta-amyrin, which act against skin inflammation symptoms. If you cannot tolerate shea butter for any reason, pure organic mango butter is a great alternative for you.
Healing essential oils for healthy skin
If you want your tan to last as long as possible, reach for a quality vegetable oil, such as almond oil, and create a nourishing blend together with carrot essential oil. Add a maximum of 30 drops of essential oil or a blend of essential oils to 50 ml of vegetable oil. You can combine it, for example, with geranium or bergamot without bergapten.
Since carrot oil is photosensitive, after applying it, make sure not to go into the sun for at least eight hours, so it is best applied at night. If you want to soothe the skin after sun exposure, you can make a healing organic oil from Roman chamomile and almond or apricot oil. The dosage can be 5 drops of Roman chamomile, 10 drops of geranium per 50 ml carrier oil. Roman chamomile and geranium excellently heal sunburned skin and relieve itching, burning, and redness.
